EY smart futures Review

I had the role of being a smart futures intern for 3 weeks and enjoyed everyday I spent on the programme, for the first 2 weeks we worked on improving various skills required in the business workplace, such as presenting skills and time management skills as well as learning the basics of accounting and corporate advisory. The activities we compelted were all team based and allowed us to work on our team work and communication skills within a group and learn which skils we could personally bring to the table.for the third week I had a placement working for the EY audit team, I got to meet the clients and help them out with real life prolems that they faced due to training I had received from my fellow workers.

I've learnt so many new skills and developed exiting ones thanks to the programme such as communication, presenting and time management skills, on top of this we all also gained a CMI level 2 qualification in team leading, which is the equivalent to a GCSE, which is going to really set us apart from others when we put it on our CV's. furthermore I have also increased my knowledge of how businesses work as well as learned how auditors work on a day to day basis.

I absolutely loved the programme and would highly recommend it to anyone with even a slight interest in business, accounting and finance and I think it its been really enjoyable and interesting every day that I've spent here, the team is so friendly and make sure your alsways challenged in order to improve on yourself.

you feel valued so much when working at EY everyone is given the same level of high respect and treated equally, no matter what background you are from you can find a place at EY within its diverse team of professionals.

The whole programme was well organized and we were clearly told our daily tasks and given a timetable for the day with regards to the tasks we would be completing. we received so much help and guidance from all of the people that work here. we have also all been allocated mentors that we can stay in contact with and ask for any help that we need I n the future.

As I mentioned we all received lots of support throughout our time here at EY and were always given help when it was required, the team always made sure we were being challenged but again made sure we were helped out where needed.

we were provided with food for the first 2 weeks of the programme and given money for our travel expenses when commuting to clients in the third week, were were also paid around £500 for our wages for the 3 weeks which I personally think I great considering the fact I ouldve done this without being paid as its been so beneficial. we also got given goodies at our graduation ceremony such as portable chargers and amazon vouchers which were a added bonus.

I think EY have lots of stuff going on out of work such as sports fixtures and team activities which helps everyone to related to each other and get along better, which I think is brilliant. I think they also support people and encourage them to do courses in their own time.

Yes

It's just been a great experience overall and has gone beyond my expectations for what I would consider as work experience and it allows you to really get an insight into what its like working for a big corporation such as EY, which is not only great on a personal level but also great for your CV.

Try your best to prepare for your telephone interview and make sure you come across as passionate and genuinely interested in the programme, also some back ground research on the company is helpful just incase you are asked, I would also have so questions ready to ask the interviewer.
