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

    • They are all common sense, useful skills that I will be able to relate anywhere I go. I learned how to use SharePoint Designer, Visio, and more about Excel. I learned how to juggle multiple tasks and how to own a project end-to-end. This type of education cannot be learned in university.
