  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • I have chosen not to further my education with a degree, but rather worked since I was 17. The skills I have developed and the information I have recieved have really helped and can and will be applied in my future prospects. I have learnt skills and knowledge that can not be taught but need to be done physically in the right environment. I have learnt a huge amount while being here, more than I expected to.
