Overview of Experience

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

I was able to gain insight into Willis as a company and all the apprenticeships they offer at different levels. I was able to build a CV and was informed about tips on what to avoid and how to structure it. I was given opportunities to speak to apprentices as Willis and question them on certain aspects of their role and how they find it working at the company.

4/5

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I developed better communication and team building skills through working with other people collectively as a group to do tasks provided to us and discussed answers. It helped me improve my networking ability to be able to link with new people who I had never met prior to the event which I found extremely useful.

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

It was an extremely welcoming atmosphere. The people in charge of the event were very thoughtful to not entirely break comfort zones which I liked and while speaking to apprentices about how the Ipswich office is like, I learned that they were very welcoming and friendly and had a positive atmosphere almost like a family as everyone knew each other which I found surprising.

How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?
