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

    • My degree is not related to the internship so some skills learned such as tax legislation will not help. However, I have developed other skills such as communication and professional etiquette that will be of much use in the future.

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
