    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • I sat in two different practice areas, where I got involved in real-life work which was given to me from my supervisor and other members of the department. I reached out to people who were not in my department for coffee chats. I had a written assessment and a test, alongside a group presentation which was prepared for over the two weeks and presented at the end of the scheme.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have improved on my networking skills and my presentation abilities. I had an appraisal with my supervisor at the end of each week, discussing skills that I could work on. I then applied this feedback going into my second week.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • The focus-on sessions gave me a broad overview of what the different practice areas do, and how they collaborate. Through these sessions, I realised that I would enjoy trying a seat in a department that I had never considered before.
