  • We were assigned to a project (client or development work) in which our project leader would assign tasks for us to complete. If we have any issues, we would contact the leader or our colleagues. There was also two mock projects based on the software training, which were assessed. There were lots of opportunities to network with weekly networking sessions with different departments.
