9/10

7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

It helps because if I'm unsure of different departments in Nestle, the qualification helps looking at those gaps to get my knowledge up.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

A lot of work goes towards having good relationships with people in the academy, whether that's team building exercises or even doing career fairs for interested candidates to apply for.
