Do I have the same employee rights as my co-workers?

Yes.  Apprenticeships are paid jobs with training, meaning you are an employee of the company you are working for.  You’ll be treated just like any other employee, with the same rights and responsibilities, and will undertake work that is important to the business.  The main difference will be that you’ll receive training and learn about an industry while you are working in it.  You’ll develop the skills and knowledge needed for your role, all while being employed and earning a wage.
