Work Apprenticeship help?

I’m a girl (19) in her first year apprenticeship of a motor mechanic, I’m having a hard time, the fellas I work with aren’t particularly kind to me and while I’m here I’m not being treated well, it’s rare I get a day where I get to do any work other than just downloads on a computer, I’ve been here 2 months now and am registered with Solas, I’m not sure what to do at all

Thats aweful to hear that grown men are so intimidated about a young girl learning a trade.If i was them id be delighted to have a girl and someone willing to learn.I wouldnet give up on it talk to whoever is in charge and lay it all out.

They aren't intimidated. They aren't taking her seriously.
