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

    • Beyond developing skills with my tasks, I benefited from a broad range of trainings available on Verizon's intranet. This helped me gaining technical skills related to my degree studies i.e. IT and Telecommunications but also in Business and Project Management. Additionally, I had an in-depth understanding on the way projects are managed in 100 Fortune Company and more generally on the company's strategy.
