There was a group project to create a presentation which was assessed.
There was also an interview with a partner or director for the apprenticeship or graduate scheme depending on where you are in your education journey.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I have developed teamwork, negotiation and compromise throughout the group project.
New skills are more technical in terms of what we learnt in the workshop about audit or tax depending on what stream you applied for, as well as techniques from the personal branding workshop.
