Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The insight allowed us to learn about the firm on the first day, what they do on the second day and then on the third day we were able to learn more about our two business preferences. Finally on the last day we were given networking and interview sessions to help with our personal development.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
There were workshops on majority of the lines of business so we were able to get a comprehensive overview of the options available. There were also many opportunities to network and find out more.
