  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • There were seminars with people from departments throughout the bank to ensure that all the interns had a good understanding of what the bank did as a whole, beyond our individual roles. I also learnt things about finance, the working world, and networking that will be valuable in my future whether I pursue a career in this sector or not.
