Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
40% of the time I was in placement in Digital Sales and Service where I analyzed the digital processes such as mortgage applications using a variety of tools and thought of ways to improve the customer experience. The rest of the time we had intern events such as key speakers from the bank as well as a business project and charity project to do.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very transparent about potential opportunities and how things work with the graduate program and where you can go from there. They also put a lot of time in for us to hear from business speakers about the bank and where it is going and what it is working on.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to NatWest Group
Read about their purpose and if it resonates with you then apply and be yourself!! It is hard but try and find out about each business area as once you are on an internship, a grad offer will be in the same area.
