I find myself coming back to Digdata's career challenges because it is a safe space for me to explore and to further develop my personal qualities. I have participated and enjoyed all challenges so far but the highlight is definitely in the online meetings; the staff team is inspiring, helpful and the student live chat is full of energy and enthusiasm. Through this experience, I have improved self motivation, flexibility, independence and confidence.
