Team Working Skills

‌‌To work effectively and happily in a team is a vital skill.

Particularly in the software industry where the common goals may be hard to establish and the roles necessary to achieve them varied and demanding.

First Year Students perform a fine balancing act challenge at Gregynog During your first year you will take part in an activity day to learn about team building and team working in a refreshingly un-academic way. Students are formed into teams and over the day you will wrestle with a series of tasks designed to illuminate the way teams function and your own aptitudes within a team. The activity day also has the effect of helping first year students get to know one another, so that later working on academic projects is much easier.
