Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes, by being placed right in front of the clients from my first week I have played a role in developing and maintaining those relationships. My research from the business project and other tasks given are also being taken into account in the business decision making, so I feel that my work contributes and makes an impact.

Skills Development

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

Yes, I have learnt a lot about how to better liaise with the clients, network and developed my communication and interpersonal skills. I am learning a lot about the financial markets and types of investments as well as services (for example financial planning) that Coutts offers to clients. I am also doing some research work and being supported in developing a wide range of skills and knowledge.
