There is so many qualifications you can obtain that you can find one that is better suited to you and your role whether it is Tech or Business, you can expand your knowledge in your certain area with qualifications.

There is so many engagement activities constantly going on at DXC and there is so many colleagues you can build relationships with to go and do activities outside of work. For example we have a football team in the office and we go play every week, it is a great way of building our relationships.
