1. Please give an overview of what your virtual experience involved:

Copious work shops were incorporated during the week. This includes learning about the specifics of audit; working on your personal brand; a team work project; a really enjoyable virtual social activity and an interview to conclude the week. The interviewer was extremely pleasant and that really helped calm my nerves!

2. What training and skills development did you learn from your virtual experience?

I learnt a lot about audit which helped me reinforce my career decision making. I also learnt the importance of networking outside the insight week.
