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

    • I developed extreme efficiency skills and pushed myself to the max which is something I will put into use for the rest of my life. Also, the technical skills I developed will help me so much in my final year at university in my finance classes.
