    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The scheme consisted of a number of talks from partners and associates from different departments within the firm. We were also given tasks throughout the week which were related to the service departments in the firm. On the middle day of the scheme we did an Assessment Centre as part of an application for a training contract at the firm. On two evenings we took part in socials with our peers and trainee buddies.
