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

    • I 100% believe that this placement has helped my develop my skills, understanding & confidence in a working environment & for my studies. The knowledge of the industry means I can apply my learning's to my degree effectively & include areas which are not covered in my degree. I now have a better understanding of what to expect when I enter full time employment & the actions to make to better my career.
