Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

first day was a day in the respected department. I job shadowed an employee, had a coffee with them, and then got to meet different senior leaders within the business. Second day was in the conference centre where we had several talks and panels and later a fun hackathon.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

we didnt learn about the different business sectors, but I got a sense of how the business works and operates

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

I had so much fun during the insight, unlike different insight programs, this program puts a great deal of emphasis on networking, developing essential skills, and preparing you for the upcoming Assessment Centre. It did not feel daunting or competitive, it was rather a fun experience.
