Overview
You were given a schedule with built-in time with your placement team and time for self-led learning. You also were able to meet several other interns through the weekly social events and multiple development sessions.
Skills
I was able to learn more about the laws around banking and have had the chance to start coding and learning in a new programming language. I have developed communication skills due to the amount of development sessions given and I feel more confident in a professional environment.
Business Insight
Very interesting, because NatWest was not only interested in the work you do, but your development, so they would introduce us all to various stakeholders in the bank and gave us a chance to network and learn about various roles in the bank.
Culture
Everyone is kind and understanding. I had a family loss during the internship and everyone was incredibly nice and allowed me to take time off to grieve. When I came back, I was filled in on everything that happened from the other interns and my line manager and placement team.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the experience a lot. It gave me a valuable look into the professional environment and showed the importance of team working with everyone. If I am offered a place on the graduate scheme, I will definitely be accepting to go back.
Yes
Be yourself, make sure you research the critical people capabilities and relate as many of your experiences to these when applying.
