Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It was a two day insight programme which allowed us to access and understand a range of different sectors within the company by bringing in panels to give talks and allow us to ask questions. We also took part in a case study based around sustainability and pitched our ideas to the group.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very intriguing as I understood the range of roles available within this firm and this has allowed me to think to a greater extent about what I would want to do in the future.
