Overview of Experience

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

The programme was very insightful and it was refreshing to see employees and fellow students who look like me. The first day involved understanding more about the assessment centre and how to prepare, with employees providing useful tips. The day also had a section where questions could be asked to graduates and employees. The second day was the assessment centre which ran smoothly. Final day we looked at feedback and had development sessions.

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

Very insightful and useful to hear from the employees themselves. Allowed me to understand what the work at the FCA would entail and what the culture at the FCA is like.
