Overview
I was working within the operational risk team. My internship lasted 8 weeks. During this time, we had the opportunity to attend speaker sessions to aid our personal development and understanding of the company structure and the financial industry as a whole. I worked within the team, speaking to senior stakeholders and presenting my ideas to back during meetings. Alongside this I worked on a group project with other interns.
Skills
Team work skills, presentations skills, stakeholder management skills, communication skills, analytical skills, creative thinking.
Responsibilities
I was given my own individual project which resulted in designing and building a website by myself. This was a very rewarding task to finish. I also conducted research within a group of 3 to help the adviser service. This has led to our ideas being taken on by senior stakeholders. Overall, it feels like I have made meaningful contributions to the team's work.

I received exceptional support and guidance not only from the early careers team and my manager.

The culture has been amazing. Very inclusive and welcoming.
