Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
In the virtual internship experience, I had a placement team in which I work with my line manager. There is also time allocated to work in groups for a Business project and a CSR project. The programme is well structured so there is a schedule to follow on a day-to-day basis.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very well-planned and thus insightful. The induction was very helpful with regards to finding out more about the business and everyone is always willing to have a chat.
