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

    • We developed some very useful skills developed in a short space of time such as how best to conduct yourself in an interview. There was lots of information about opportunities with Ernst & Young but also more general information that would be useful for any career.
