Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day-to-day basis we got to work on our CSR and business projects as well as get involved in other development sessions. Twice a week we were on placement in our designated teams to work on projects with them and get involved in team meetings. This gives you good exposure into Finance and Natwest working culture.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
In my specific internship I was not given a lot of responsibilities, and rather had to seek out tasks/leadership opportunities to take on. But it really depends upon the team in which you get placed. In terms of working on the CSR and business project, that did require quite a few responsibilities from everyone in the team.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
There was a lot of support from our assigned Peer Buddies to help us throughout our journey of the internship and that helped us with the applications for the graduate scheme. I would say there was relatively much support from everyone at Natwest.
