1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

This experience involved improving our personal skills such as leadership, team work. Also it got us thinking about our role in Deloitte. Our specific interests which we could apply to a job at Deloitte. There were also case studies, business lunches and presentations to get us all familiar with a job at Deloitte.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

I have really learned to assess myself, in what I am good at and then find areas of improvement to make myself the best possible person. It really helped me be a better me. Also I have improved my communication skills through the different exercises we conducted in. This has made me confident in approaching people.

3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

Overall I thought that the programme was a learning curve. It certainly allowed me to cancel out accounting as my future career as I really did not enjoy the processes involved in the case study. It was boring. I did enjoy meeting new people and communicating to different types of people. However the job field was not suitable for me.

4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The programme was pretty well organized. The people that talked to us really did know how to handle our age teenagers. The day consisted of morning activities then breaks, then some ice breakers, then lunch then an evening activity. They made sure we were all engaged in the activities also.
