Insights Program Intern Review

It was very enjoyable although some of the talks were quite long. The addition of a social event was also excellent

Although some employees were unsure what the insights program was, when it was explained they were very accommodating and glad to help

Plenty. All activities had set times but the program organisers were always on hand to answer questions too

Staff who I spoke to were all very honest and gave helpful answers to my questions

There were some talks which seemed unnecessary but most were beneficial. Those who gave the talks were good speakers. The addition of preparation sessions for the assessment centre was good

All staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the activities (including social event) encouraged the participants to mix

There were sessions to train and improve us, although they were focused on the assessment centre

Speaking to employees during work shadowing was the best way to get an insight into full time roles and was very helpful

Experiencing the floors and desks gave a good impression of the atmosphere which is otherwise very hard to work out

The work shadowing was only in one department when maybe two or three departments would be more beneficial

I was not paid but travel costs were reimbursed and accommodation was provided

There were 2 or 3 excellent networking opportunities including some with reasonably senior employees

The social event was great

We had a good talk from a community involvement and extra activities outside of work representative

Yes definitely
