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

    • All the FAC representatives expressed a genuine interest in welcoming diverse people into the organisation . In addition, throughout the day I felt that there was a real motivation to add value to the participants beyond the context of the FCA.

    5/5
  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • The Insight Day was very insightful indeed. I have learned about the responsibilities of the FCA and its organisational culture, and I was provided with tools that will help me in my application process the FCA graduate programme. I should also mention that FCA staff were helpful and pleasant both in their formal presentations and in person.

    5/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I am more educated in regard to the FCA – a significant “player” in the global economy. Furthermore, I think that the Insight Day improved my skills and will help me to become successful in future graduate application processes.
