Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
During the scheme, we got to sit in two different seats and try some of the different work that trainees do. We also had the opportunity to talk to different members of the firm and learn about their career paths and current positions. There were opportunities to socialise and a big induction at the beginning which allowed us to meet interns across the country and Ireland.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was fascinating
