Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Natwest really pushed learning new skills. I have been able to develop my networking skills through working closely with my team and having conversations with other departments. Through a presentation workshop I was able to develop my presenting skills which I could showcase through the final intern presentation. It has really grown my confidence and communication skills. Through the self-led learning afternoon I was also able to develop Excel skills.

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
The company culture was so inclusive, I didn't just feel like an intern in my team I felt apart of the team.

Overall, a good environment to work in and feel like you can be comfortable but also be pushed and challenged.
