Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

Shadowed graduates in technology consulting, networked with colleagues from graduates to partners, gained understanding of the culture of the firm and learned more about the graduate scheme in my capability.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?

Incredibly insightful - I learned about my route into the company the following year. I got the opportunity to speak to and gain advice from many others who were on similar pathways to me which was immensely valuable.
