Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
As I am a campus ambassador working remotely, I am involved with social media posts and interacting with my university students and members of the faculty to raise awareness of the ICAEW and the ACA qualification
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Through the training and the role itself I have learnt about the business itself, the life and role of a chartered accountant and all the opportunities available in the field. I have also learnt the crucial distinction that, opposed to my previous view, chartered accountants do more then sit behind a desk performing a laborious and repetitive job, instead they focus on real business issues, testify in courts and help businesses.
