    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • During the spring week, participants attend presentations hosted by senior bankers that outline the bank's various teams and their respective functions. Participants can also engage in more practical training sessions, work shadowing, networking events, and group exercises in which they can put technical knowledge into practice.
