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

    • Conversion rates are high, and so an internship with EY is not only an opportunity to learn but also an opportunity for a career. Whatever skills acquired would therefore be beneficial if the person chooses to head back to EY.
