Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
On the first day, you will hear from speakers and engage in interactive discussions with leaders and inspirational speakers. The second day is geared at self-development; you will be engaging in personal-development workshops, for instance, on your brand and will be guided through mock exercises that may come up at an assessment centre.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was intense; EY has numerous service lines, and navigating and understanding all the eventualities and possibilities open to me was difficult. That said, they tried to make it as digestible and interactive as possible.
