Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The insight week was virtual and consisted of several sessions each day, which gave an overview of the different roles at UBS, as well as the culture of the company. The day-to-day activities were attending zooms and being an active participator in question and networking sessions.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very useful and helped me narrow down the areas I am interested in. It also gave me details into some roles I didn't even know about before the session!

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
As it was an insight program, it was less about developing skills, and more about deepening my understanding of the company and the variety of roles available. I did however gain some skills in relation to networking and meeting other individuals online.
