Apart from my regional trainer, I did not receive much support from the training provider. However, my regional trainer was always accessible through email or phone, providing me with additional assistance for my work whenever I required it. Moreover, he ensured that I was aware of the specific subjects we would be discussing during our meetings.

There is quite a few different activities within Fujitsu that take place such as an upcoming charity football game between employees.
