  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • My internship gave me a really good overview on how to do market research, how to communicate within the company to get the information you want. It also thought me how to organise myself in the time and respect deadlines. This internship helped me develop highly important skills for my degree.
