  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I wasn't given much client facing roles. However, I was given tasks whereby it was directly for the clients - that made me feel valued.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The task I was given has definitely enhanced my analytical skill - a skill required at university. I did Mathematics and Finance. Alot of my work involved terms that I've seen/learned at school. Putting theory into practice was a great experience!

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • Super! HR did an amazing job organising events for us. Eg. networking events and Global Speaker Series (talks broadcasted live from New York) without disrupting our Business-As-Usual tasks.

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • Plenty, The firm organised events which enhance skills we would never learn in the classroom or at our desk. Eg. networking skills. We were also each assigned a mentor (An Executive Director or Managing Director) who speaks to us on a regular basis. They invested their time in ensuring we make the most of our internship.
