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

    • Lots of practise at assessment centres, has helped me get internships elsewhere. If you have no idea what you want to do careerwise, or what even companys do (like I did) then get on this scheme!
