    • We had the opportunities to learn a lot more about the firm through the videos, presentations, case studies and networking opportunities with the employees.

    4/5
  • 10. How valuable was the content in helping you to decide on your future career path?

    • Some rooms for improvement: There could be more business areas / services line that they could focus or attend to, so participants could have a greater exposure to those divisions.

    3/5

    Everything Else

    • Get to learn more about this area via networking sessions. (eg. teach first / travel / sports and charity)

    4/5
