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

    • I noticed a marked improvement in my communication skills by the end of the internship which will be important when I’m working in the future. I also improved my teamwork skills as I was working in a team for the whole internship.
