    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?
  • The virtual experience was intimidating at first but the programme was structured in a way that helped interns engage and network. Every meeting had Q&a session which helped us to clear up all of our personal doubts. Apart from that, the second week was division specific which was even more insightful. It gave us the opportunity to interact with graduates working in our divisions as well.

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the virtual experience?

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • For me personally I learnt a lot because we had sessions on financial well-being, maximising potential and mental health as well. Each session was extremely helpful in its own way and I’m sure that these skills would help me a lot at university as well.

  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • The company invested a lot of time into developing skills and training interns virtually. We had special sessions on maximising our potential which inspired us to go out of our comfort zone. A session on social media awareness was organized as well. Furthermore, a lot of time was invested in making sure that we were learning along the way via the means of surveys and feedbacks.

    5/5

  • 8. To what extent did the virtual experience help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?
  • Since the programme was completely virtual it was hard to know whether we’ll be able to gain a real experience of what it’s like to actually work with the firm. But through the help of graduates already working there we were able to get a realistic insight into they day to day activities and roles.
