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

    • The skills I have learned will be invaluable. They have made me grow and develop into a more rounded individual and I have significantly improved many skills such as interpersonal skills. I have also improved the skills required to my degree which will give me an advantage at university which I wouldn't have if I didn't take this placement.
