    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The insight week was a five-day period. During the insight, we were given different presentations so that we can know more about the business areas in the Natwest. We were divided into small breakout rooms, in this session, we can meet many students and staff at the company. It is useful for us to build some network and learn from each other. The whole insight week was online, but we can still know many things and get involved in the program. It is fantastic!


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • Through this insight week, the communication skill for me has been improved because it is really a good opportunity for me to contact with different students from different universities. Though we may be from different majors, we can still talk a lot of things about study, lives and works. Meanwhile, for the professional skills, the insight week helps me to know more about the company, compared with before, I get to know what specific area I will prefer at the Natwest. The staff who shared their ideas and experiences are really beneficial to me.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • It feels like you are not so confused anymore, during the session, I have known the role it played in the daily work. The business area I chose was Risk. From the insight, I knew it is a job which should be dealt with some data, also it will communicate with people who we serve to, we need to decrease the probability that our clients may get the risk. After I specifically knew the job, I found I was more interested in it. It is very beneficial for my future career as I am more committed.

It can get sustainable development.
