Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I had 3 main projects - a corporate social responsibility project where we fundraised for charity in a team with other interns, a business project in a team where we came up with recommendations for improvement in a certain business area, and a placement project that was specific to me and the team i sat on.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was often asked for my thoughts and opinions and my placement work did seem valuable. i dont know whether this is true across the board, or whether i got lucky with my team.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
The bank really allows you to drive your own programme, i would tell my line manager things i wanted to work on that week and we would devise ways of improving those skills and he would link me in with other people that could help.
