Yes I have learnt a lot of new skills. The company heavily invests in training the young joiners. So far, I've had training in Pentaho Data Integration studio and Pentaho BA. This is on top of the 11 weeks training period that I undertook at the start of the programme. I now can use SQL, UNIX, Visual Studio, Java and business intelligence tools such as QlikSense.
