    4/5

    1/5

  • 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?
  • This was done quite well, in fact, in my opinion too much time was spent on this aspect, taking away from potential training opportunities.

    5/5

  • Culture was presented well.

    5/5

  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?
  • In between valuable and useless. Very little content on the actual practicalities of day-to-day work, barely any skill training, content was more focused on presenting the wider company and corporate culture.
