  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • A great balance, busy at times when deadlines were getting closer, and less work at other times.

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

    • The graphic design skills will help me with my final year project's presentation boards and branding. It will be of great benefit when i'm looking for a job after university.
