Skills Academy Participant Review

Throughout the course of the 3 day Skills Academy, there were a number of different activities. One task was completing 4 different box activities based on the 4 service lines at EY. We then did team building exercises such as making a bridge out of straws and cello tape, with certain constraints. The project that we worked on across the 3 days was a client scenario. I was responsible for the advisory service line and attended interviews with the client in order to help them find solutions to their problems. After the relevant information was gathered, I was able to put together a presentation to present the solutions to the clients and explain to them why we chose the option we did.

From the Skills Academy I gained many personal and professional skills. These included better presentation and public speaking skills. I also developed by teamwork skills and learnt the importance of dealing with different people's behavioural styles. On top of this I gained valuable interview and first impression skills.

I really enjoyed the programme and feel like I gained so much out of it! It was an amazing experience and I'm so grateful that I had the opportunity to take part.

EY made me feel really welcome and comfortable in the environment. Everyone was very friendly and helpful at all times.
