Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It consisted of training for the first week with the whole cohort of Women's Immersion Interns, with training in finance, excel and soft skills. Then a week with one assigned desk, working on an assigned project and presenting at the end of the week.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
They offered a broad overview of roles available with some more specific talks from graduates. Also gained an in-depth understanding of the work done in the department to which you are assigned. Everyone was very open to being spoken to also.
