With the combination of working within an organisation whilst also studying toward a qualification, I have been exposed to the industry with hands-on experience that University couldn’t give me. Like with anything, you get out what you out in. And, if you are willing, the rewards, success and transformative life skills you will earn make it so worth it. I learn something new every day, constantly improving on current skills and developing new ones to aid my development in this field.
