Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We had talks from people about the companies culture, tips about cover letters and CV's as well as the application process for the internship role. There were also loads of opportunities to interview people within the company to learn more about what they do and their journeys.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very useful and I found it really inspiring and interesting to learn what it would be like to work for the tech company. Also it was very useful to learn what the application process would be like. Learning more about what software engineers do, I am keen to learn more about this career and apply for future roles within this field.
