lots of support from my assigned mentor. we have catch-ups every two weeks where we discuss the content i am learning and ideas for my assignments

it doesn't feel as applicable to my role but it has given me the opportunities through my mentor to apply the skills i am learning. i definitely want to continue with these responsibilities in my career and current role.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
