1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

For the first two weeks we were in the top floor of the EY building and we had challenges and education slides on the EY Departments. we were set into different groups and had Dragons Den and other style presentation for us to get a deeper understanding into accountancy. As well as this we started our coursework to get Business Management level 2 qualification and worked on this pretty much everyday.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I learnt to be a lot more confident in my self and have more self belief in what I can do. Also, I could work more well as a team member and enhanced my team leading skills too. The experiences I had with managers and executives made me learn how to be professional and network with anyone and everyone.

It grows the individual as a person and it has made me a better member of society as I am more aware of the world of work.

Be confident in your Interviews and show enthusiasm over the phone. Don't be shy or worried as everyone is in the same boat as you are and it is much better if everyone gets to know each other.
