Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
A day on the programme consisted of recruitment events, coffee catch ups with consultants, and shadowing project work of an associate. We would engage in project material, sit in on team meetings, and utilize the intern training material in our spare time.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The business structure was explained in detail and helped me specify my career aspirations in the future. Consulting as a broad career was broken down into a manageable understanding of the different roles and projects people work in.
