Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Worked in teams to create and present projects whilst having employability workshops for soft skills
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
There was an introduction to LBG, and we were able to speak to employees in particular roles, however there wasn’t a large emphasis on the roles and functions or divisions.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Lloyds Banking Group
This Employability event was a good introduction to skills to be ‘employable’, but I would have loved an emphasis on how these skills would apply to a career in banking and finance. It was nice to get a certificate at the end and network after with other people on the insight event. It has also made me more open to joining LBG as a graduate
