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

    • My placement has helped to improve the quality of my research and report writing skills whilst picking up on industry jargon that will certainly reflect in my essays at university. My time keeping and organisational skills have also improved dramatically.
