About You
Very enjoyable week.
All the employees gave a lot of their time to talk to me and explain in detail what they were doing and how they entered and progressed through the industry.
Was very well informed
Skills based sessions were very useful.
The Company
Good split between theoretical presentations and desk rotations.
Packed days, but very useful and always busy.
The week was very informative and all the employees took time out of their day to explain in detail what is was that they were doing.
Having the opportunity to sit with a wide range of people allowed me to gain a good perspective of what a day to day role would be like, and how people progress through the company.
Presentations on the culture of JP and learning from the experience of individuals.
Everything Else
Accommodation offered, but as I live in London not required.
Multiple networking drinks and lunches throughout the week
Very useful and got to meet a wide range of people from different areas of the company who had worked there for 6 months to 20 years.
Some employees told me about volunteering opportunities.
Very useful week that changed my perception and developed my interest in pursuing a career within this industry.
