Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It was a one week internship. This consisted of various practice area sessions, workshops, and activities which focussed on the practice area you were assigned to. We also had to give a group presentation at the end of the week. There were also 2 socials during the week.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
We were briefed on the training contract process at the start of the week. It was also interesting to learn about how qualification works.
