    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the virtual experience and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The internship was split into two sections: placement days and bank-wide days. Placement days (Tues & Thurs) were really exciting - offering hands-on learning, training and occasionally client interactions. A line-manager oversees your workload and you are brought into a regional team - I felt extremely welcome. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays were dedicated to speaker sessions, development sessions and two group projects. The projects give you both an opportunity to raise money for charity and to create a matrix for change in the way that the Group approaches a subject area e.g., sustainability
