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

    • I have finished my degree so this question is difficult to answer on that basis. I felt the skills I developed will help me in life as the work was a good mix of fast paced decision making/ tasks with more reflective longer term projects. I found the Fitch training very useful for the internship.
