Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Attended WTW’s two-day virtual insight programme exploring business areas like Investments, Risk, and CRB. Took part in problem-solving and client excellence workshops, heard from senior leaders, and networked with graduates and professionals across seven different lines of business during the Mini Careers Fair. Sessions also included personal branding, interview preparation, and group activities.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was eye-opening to see how broad WTW’s business is and how each Line of Business plays a different role in supporting clients. Speaking with people across teams helped me understand where my strengths could fit and what the day-to-day actually looks like in different roles.
