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

    • To some extent it did help me as I received information I did not know prior to the insight day. With that in mind, you can only fit so much into an insight day. Overall, it did provide a good foundation to further explore what Lloyds does, and not at least the networking opportunity.

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?

    • Minor issues in the beginning, as the reception had not been made aware of the event. After this, things went smoothly and easy.

    3/5
  • 6. How was the general atmosphere during your insight?

    • Good. Easy to introduce yourself and get to know the other participants.

    3/5
  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Again, insight day. Only lasted for 6-7 hours. However, during those 6-7 hours, the focus is on you and you have the opportunity to ask or comment on anything, which we were encouraged to do as well.

    3/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • It provided a valuable introduction to life and work at Lloyds Banking Group. That was especially so with the Graduate program, we had the opportunity to talk with graduates about their daily-life at Lloyds and they also gave a presentation which for me was insightful.

    3/5
  • 9. How much did the insight help you in understanding the company culture?

    • Solid focus on the culture and values of the company.

    4/5

    • Easy to network with current employees as well as participants of the program.

    4/5
  • 13. How were the networking/ social event opportunities?
