    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • Coming from an engineering background, they were very open to explaining acronyms and terms I was unfamiliar with. If I had to say one caveat it would be that there was almost too much new information in a short space of time. Only on the last day have I started understanding the true differences across sectors. Maybe extending the programme one more day would help?
