Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Level up with WTW was a two-day insight programme designed to develop foundational professional skills and provide an understanding of WTW's culture and operations. Day 1 focused on problem-solving, inclusion, leadership insights and networking opportunities, including a panel session with former participants along with a social activity. Day 2 centred around client excellence, interview preparation using the STAR method and personal branding. The programme concluded with a mini careers fair with several lines of business.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It provided me with a clearer picture of how different teams contribute to WTW’s continued success and allowed me to identify areas that align with my strengths and interests. Hearing directly from employees in various roles supplied me with a profound understanding of the day-to-day work and career progression opportunities within the company.
