Overview
Completed team project on diversity and inclusion in NatWest: answering the key questions "What does diversity and inclusion mean to you?" and "What do you like most about NatWest's approach to diversity and inclusion?" Took part in interactive sessions on Building Confidence, Networking and Presentation Skills and self-advocacy (#IAmRemarkable initiative) Networked with business leaders and graduates from my business area - NatWest Markets - as well as from the different ELNs at NatWest
Skills
Developed presentation skills through team project as we had to present to business leaders, also time management as we were only allocated approx 1 hr per day to complete the project Improved networking and confidence skills through both the opportunity to network and targeted skill sessions
Business Insight
Was given the opportunity to speak to graduates and business leaders and ask about their job role - they were very friendly and receptive to questions However would have appreciated a more structured overview of NatWest Markets as well as more technical activities specific to investment banking
Culture
Purpose-driven: heard the phrase 'championing potential' a lot Centered around diversity and inclusion and sustainability rather than just using them as buzzwords Everyone I spoke to was very friendly and passionate about their role
Your Impressions
Really enjoyed learning more about the firm - its culture really stands out Program leaders also did a good job of keeping us engaged despite the program being virtual - seemed genuinely interested in us However as there were 100 interns on the program so had to fight to get noticed a lot; would have appreciated a smaller cohort size
Yes
Practice for the numerical logical and situational judgement test as application process is iterative, performance at each stage determines your ability to progress to the next Also practice for video interview - can be a little daunting as you are just speaking to a screen and answers are recorded
