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

    • I think a lot of the business acumen developed is only specific to Intel, but i have improved a lot of transferable skills which will help me in my degree. Such as communication (i have had to talk to people on different time zones and countries) and time management to deal with varying work load levels.

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
