  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • I was on the Smart futures programme for yr12 students who had an interest in the professional industry. We were taught different soft skills each day for two weeks which involved acquiring these from some EY client firms also. We then could apply all we had learnt in the final week when we were sent to do some work experience.
