I really loved having the opportunity to conduct my own research. I also learned crucial hard and soft skills like data presentation, collaboration, and delegation skills. Not to mention, accomplishing something so time-intensive and collaborative really improved my self-confidence academically.
SOCSCI 2EL0 was really important for me to learn how to translate my knowledge, skills, and experience as a student/new grad into the language being spoken by prospective employers.
What I like about Social Science is the balance of industry-specific technical know-how with career-critical soft skills: written and verbal communications, research and dissemination, time and conflict management, etc.
