The Masters degree I am working towards provides me with a theoretical understanding of my day to day and has given me a solid foundation to work from when performing my day to day duties.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
My employer offers regular extra-curricular activities that we can get involved in should we wish to do so. These range from social events outside of working ours and even charitable initiatives.
