Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We completed really insightful and engaging learning sessions everyday. This included learning about the culture of EY and the key skills required to be successful at EY and in business in general. For example, there was sessions on how to improve your personal brand and confidence. We then had a case study to work on in a small team. At the end of the internship we had to present our findings to our EY mentors.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very useful to be able to get an insight into the industry. It brought home the fact that I wanted to work in audit and how to be successful in the industry. It also ensured each graduate understood the culture expected at EY which is very helpful

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I learnt a lot from completing the internship. The case study is a very useful tool to learn about your service line, EY and to get to meet your peers. The learning sessions are also very insightful. I learnt how to improve my presentational skills and when creating my personal brand how to maximise my strengths while being able to identify my weaknesses to build on.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
It is a very welcoming and open company. You quickly realise that you are working in such a diverse and inclusive background which is great. I got a sense EY clear pride themselves on this and after talking to EY graduates and staff it is clear that it is this diversity which makes them so innovative. EY also clearly let there actions speak when it comes to helping the community
