Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I was a summer intern on the PCA team. Day-to-day I would be involved with creating presentations, formatting and admin tasks. I was also able to participate in some external calls. Once a week there was an internal team meeting where we would all come together and discuss any key updates and outstanding tasks.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, I really felt this in my direct exposure to the client and my participation in external calls.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

My main task was formatting PowerPoint slides, so this was a skill I practiced a lot. I improved both the quality and the speed with which I could work through these tasks. Also admin and task management was important to the role, something I developed further over the course of the internship.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

There were several systems in place to ensure we had a network of people to support us over the internship; HR, a 'buddy', an MD advisor, other interns, bank-wide events etc.
