T-Level Placement Review

Learning about the bank through video and in-person presentations. These gave me a good insight into Lloyd's workplace environment. I also completed 5 units of ART training through my 15 days at Lloyds. These helped me with similar things that the presentations did. Overall, I loved the experience here.

I came in wanting to develop my speaking skills (not just in a presentation setting) but also I wanted to push myself during the behind the scenes aspects of the team tasks. I think I did build my speaking skills but I think in the same team tasks I was limited purely by who I was put with.

To a pretty far extent. My only real issue came in the short length of the team tasks we had. And with how the teams were picked, I was placed with the same people each task (mostly). I think not everyone on the placement cared as much as some people did, which may have limited others too.

Very well organised, from my personal experience. I got a laptop, it was set it up before the halfway mark of week 1, and it was fairly easy to use. The time table wasn't changed much, and the individual tasks and presentations were very useful and engaging.

We received a lot of support outside of the team tasks. I understand that they were meant to be independent work to build our team building skills. But with no-one supervising them some people didn't want to work, and didn't really have to.

I am very happy with the skills that I did build during the bootcamp. I am more excited to see how they are expanded up on during the 8 week placement.

It found me a role, being data engineering, and that was very important for me. Going in I didn't mind what I was put into but it interests me

There were a lot of external sites, but so much out of work activities

Yes

I think it was a very helpful experience, and I'm glad I was accepted into it

Just to be mindful going into the teams tasks, make sure you do your best, but don't expect the world from your team mates
