With my previous university it did not help my daily role that much. However I have recently changed course to one that is more suited to my role within supply chain.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Yes. There is a gym at work. I also play 5 a side football every week on the pitch at work.
