Overview
We would meet in the morning for group sessions such as Q&A's or insight sessions with Pro Bono or Fuse. We were also divided into groups and worked on an innovation challenge with the goal of presenting a solution at the end of the week. In the afternoons, there was designated time with our individual trainers where we gained insight into their relevant practice areas.
Skills
I developed my collaboration and presentation skills during the final innovation challenge. Meeting fellow cohort members and A&O employees developed my interpersonal skills also.
Business Insight
I found it very insightful, particularly understanding the invaluable role of professional support lawyers. I enjoyed learning about the composition of the business and what makes A&O different from competitors.
Culture
Extremely friendly and welcoming. I cannot speak highly enough of the culture of the firm - this was a huge differentiating factor in my eyes.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed the vacation scheme so much. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know the Graduate Recruitment Team - they were all so attentive and friendly. I also loved getting to know the cohort.
Yes
To dig deep into research and to talk to current employees to gain insight into the type of work that is undertaken and into the working environment.
