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

    • Looking back at where I was before compared to myself after 12 months, I can comfortably say I've improved technically and interpersonally. This will certainly help me in my final year of University and graduate employment.
