    • People in the bank veiw interns are an integral part of the team. They are keen to coach you throughout and engage you in their day to day dealings making you feel part of the team and valued.

    • The progream is an excellent way to learn a lot about the bank and the indusrty but it is also an great way to learn more about yourself. Mentors and managers were essential in this process they constantly encourage you to reach out to people, network, find out what suits you and challenge yourself. They are very appraochable and keen to listen.
