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

    • The role gave me a great understanding of large business's operations. Skills learned from projects set to all placement students in the company were incredibly useful and will help me greatly in the future. However the skills necessary for the job role I am unlikely to use again.
