Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
An extremely informative and welcoming program which helped me to understand the dynamics within WTW, including information on the apprenticeships available, how to apply for apprenticeships, speaking to current apprentices to understand how they enjoy working at WTW and how WTW differs from other companies.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Understanding the business and the potential roles available made me certain that I am going to apply at WTW as each different area was explained clearly and gave me a good motivation to follow in the future. This helped me to understand which area of WTW I would like to join and strive for.
