Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

The role consists of being on placement with a wealth manager 3 days a week. This involves sitting in on client meetings, seeing how they write advice as well as them helping other members of the team (team meetings etc).
For the other two days of the week there were group projects (one being a charity project and the other being a business project). In addition, there were skills sessions and time for independent learning using the intranet etc.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Not a great deal of responsibility. This is, however, completely understandable given that you need to have certain qualifications/experience to deal directly with clients (and provide financial advice).

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

I think the main take aways surround how to deal with clients in a professional way, how to build networks and a technical understanding of how financial advice works.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

There was a great deal of direct support from both my 'buddy' and my line manager. In addition, the program support staff and other line managers were also there to help out if we wanted their assistance.
