Community

You're not alone
during your APL

During APL it can feel unfamiliar, you're new at the workplace and your classmates are spread across different companies and industries. Community brings all APL students together in one place, regardless of program or location.

Ask questions when you're stuck on a task and get answers from someone who's been there. Share what you've learned during the week, compare tasks with others on the same vocational track and start building your network already in upper secondary school.
