  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • My role as a EY foundation student was to learn and get a vibe of how the world of work is like. I was doing tasks such as presentations for certain activities for the first 2 weeks and then for the last week, it was the business week in which I worked in strategic consulting which required a lot of research. It was very good and I really enjoyed this experience.

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I feel like I have developed further on skills such as communication and business writing skills. This is because everyday for the first 2 weeks, we had presentations and talks on how we can improve our skills and which skills we may require. At the end of the programme, I will have hopefully achieve a CMI qualification.
