Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

There were skill-building sessions including confidence, presentation and networking. I gained an insight into the financing solutions division and was presented with a case study. I worked in a team of 4 to create and deliver a presentation. I gained a wholistic insight into the bank's culture and values as well as internship and graduate programmes.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

Very insightful; I learnt a lot about the recruitment process for the summer internship as well as the graduate programmes, and as a result I am eager to join the bank as an intern next summer and perhaps even beyond.
