    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I had a wonderful experience during the insight week. I learned a lot about EY's values while gaining insight into my own leadership strengths and qualities. During the day, we were coached by experts in leadership and had the opportunity to develop and explore our own leadership tactics. At night, we had fun, interactive activities where we were able to establish a relationship with the other students on the scheme and talk to employees at EY.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • EY invested a lot of time and resources into ensuring that we had a good experience and got the most out of the program. We were placed in small groups with an employee at EY who facilitated our activities and responded with helpful feedback. The EY employees truly took the time to get to know each student on the scheme and address any questions that were raised.

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Every day we had feedback sessions with our small groups with the facilitator where we were given information on our strengths and areas for improvement. The feedback was incredibly insightful and helped me develop as an individual and professional. I was also advised on possible career paths and gained insight into life at EY by speaking to professionals in the field.

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The focus of the scheme is to help students develop leadership strengths. In that respect, I have grown exponentially and feel better prepared to return to university equipped with the tools to succeed. The program was not focused on technical career skills. The insight and skills I have gained will stay with me in the future, regardless of my career path.
