  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

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

    • I learnt a very valuable skill set during this week. The most important thing I learnt was that RBS value further qualifications and characteristics that make possible employees stand out. I also learnt that at any point you can change your career path and this flexibility inspired me to explore my options further.
