Work Experience Student Review

I met some amaazing people and learned valuable skills not just for this field but general employable skills. For the first two weeks you will do some really fun and interactive activities to help you gain a CMI qualification in team leading. The final third week you do business work experience where you will do tasks such as researching companies on company house, creating briefs for client site employees, looking at financial accounts and checking them for the companies real clients. You also get to do negotiation tasks at Baker McKenzie a law firm for a day and get to see the Canary Wharf EY building which is amazing! You are also paid to do this, so put yourself out there and become more employable.

On a Dragons Den task we, in teams, had to create a concept for a phone (company, tech and finances) and pitch to judges - including associate partners of the branch. This really helped my confidence and made me develop it as it aided my process of overcoming my fear of public speaking.

I absolutely loved it! It was nothing like I expected, I thought it would be boring, repetitive numbers and maths but its nothing like that. I met some amaazing people and learned valuable skills not just for this field but general employable skills.

Everybody working for EY were very supportive and welcoming. They are more than happy to help and answer any questions you asked. I really appreciate them trying to make our time there as enjoyable and productive as possible.

The programme has a clear structure of ice breaker and introduction to the CMI logs in the first week, the second week is a continuation of CMI training and the client site visit to London and the third week is actually putting to practise what you have learnt.

It was more than enough and additional travel costs to client sites are reimbursed.

There is a September event with Oxbridge universities and they help you build the best personal statement you can and improve your interview skills. This is useful whether you want university or apprenticeship.

Yes

I learnt so many skills and gained so much confidence from this. I got to network with professionals and people my age that are from different areas and made really good friends.

Make sure you research the company for your telephone interview, practise some basic questions from google like - when have you deisplayed good leadership/teamwork skills? Be confident and don't be afraid of the awkward silence while you think instead of waffling like say "could you repeat the question". BE CONFIDENT
