    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • The two-day programme started with getting to know some people via a welcome webinar the week before which was really helpful in calming my nerves. We looked at personal development and focused on what their competencies are and how to develop them. We got to plan and present a short teaching episode to a small number of other participants. There were opportunities throughout to chat to ambassadors and learn more about their training programme.

    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • We had the opportunity to develop interaction and planning skills via the teaching episode. There were specific sessions dedicated to learning more about the company and understanding their vision. There other sessions dedicated to debate skills and how to be a good leader. Also a session on wellbeing, both for now and in future careers which was really helpful and interesting.
