‘I have developed the skill of collaborative team work especially virtually. I have also honed my research skills and know how to decode employerexpectations’.
‘Had a great time working on a project with students and graduates from a variety of disciplines. Learnt a lot from each other, learnt a lot about the client's industry and the organisation themselves. The virtual meetings were definitely a challenge as it was difficult for our team to meet-up, but through this challenge it helped me understand how virtual meetings could be improved to extract its full potential in the future’.
