SUCCESS IN THE WORKPLACE:
Your Appearance and Professionalism

As an apprentice in a skilled trade, it's important to dress neatly and cleanly to show that you care about your job and respect your employer and customers. You should always follow the dress code and look professional because it can make a good impression on customers. This can help you to be taken seriously and to build trust with customers, which is important for doing well in any job.
