  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • As the week was just an insight week there wasn't really any personal training. However, the amount of investment in us was great, as there were a lot of senior people from the company speaking to us and providing everyone with the opportunity to ask questions

    5/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

  • There are a lot of opportunities for employees to take part in volunteering, sports and be part of a diversity network.

    5/5

  • This Insight is really valuable for someone who knows that she would like to have a future career within the financial services industry. By the end of the week you will have had a clearer idea of the division you want to work in. I would 100% recommend this programme to other students.
