Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
This role involved working with the EIA department to conduct audits across various divisions. As part of the 3-stage audit process, I supported the risk and control identification and assessment process, the write-up of overview documents, and conducted stakeholder meetings.
In addition, I supported teams in regulatory mapping, issue validations and ICAAP pieces.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
A lot. From the beginning, they viewed me not as an intern, but at as analyst. As somebody who enjoys stepping into the challenge, the work was very rewarding and I felt as part of the team.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Absolutely, the biggest skill being written and verbal communication which is incredibly important to do well in this industry. I need to be able to process many written documents and make them concise, to relay them in an effective manner.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
My department supports me whole-heartedly. They tailored the internship to me, and supported me whenever I expressed interest in a particular area or type of work. We were always transparent with each other which meant that they could support me and I, them. I received a lot of guidance from my team, who would take time to explain the task and how to execute it correctly.
