  • My programme is full of opportunities especially for a school leaver looking for a career it is a great programme. The opportunities are endless and I love the fact that I am confident around the other apprentices due to the boot camp that we went on.

  • 4. How valued do you feel by NatWest?
  • RBS makes you feel valued as a member of staff and not just a school leaver looking for money and work experience. You are treated fairly amongst everyone else in the team and arent given the crappy jobs.

    10/10

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The programme is structured but could be improved. I think this is because this programme is new to the RBS group itself it will take a while to see improvements over time.
