Yes, I have developed my excel skills, as well as negotiating skills and teamwork and team building/managing.

How well organised/structured is your programme?

The course is relevant to the current role in the rotation, and therefore the knowledge learnt during the lessons, can then be applied in the practical day to day tasks, from contract negotiations to teamwork activities.

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

Yes, the employer suggests frequently to get involved in social activities throughout the year. Examples can be team bonding activities with the Procurement department, as well as TJX in office events that involve the entire company.
