Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The Scheme was really insightful. The Early Careers Team went above and beyond to make the experience enjoyable, and made you feel incredibly welcomed. After the initial welcome for the first day, we met with our Supervisors and were tasked with reading, research and typical trainee tasks. There is plenty of opportunities to network with other Associates and Trainees.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was thorough, but manageable. The firm really want you to understand every part of their organisation, and welcome you to reach out to other parts of the firm throughout your scheme. It was really useful to have a Training Contract session also, to see the exact timeline of your time as a Future Trainee, all the way through until Qualification.
