Research projects into corporate board management, attending corporate and pension board meetings, and training in pension board services.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I completed my work independently, however, there were many people around to ask for help. The research project I completed involved creating materials for the company to use, rather than shadowing and observing others.
