Overview of Experience

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

This was a two-day programme:
The first day was more focused on introductions, time management, stress management and how it is like to work in Llyods Banking Group and its subsidiaries.
The second day more broadly focused on real life case studies and group activities to make us learn more about team work and problem solving and finally the event ended with the speaker introducing us to the graduate schemes and apprenticeships.

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

They gave us a good understanding about their business and the roles they had to offer.

Company Culture

How would you rate business leader involvement during the insight

5/5

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

By listening to their talks, I could get a fair idea that the company is trying its best to maintain diversity and inclusivity with one commitment being to make 50% of all senior leadership as women by 2030, which is something quite exceptional and uncommon for other major banks.
