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

    • The internship taught me in skills what I have not learned that much during my engineering degree: team and social intelligence thinking. So I think the internship provided that what I needed most. Especially the english working culture is much more social! So it was a very good experience.
