    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • During the first week, we received training on Investment Banking and Global Markets while networking with professionals. From the second week, we joined our respective teams and gained first-hand insight into their day-to-day operations. Alongside this, we worked on a team-specific project, which we presented at the end of the programme. This allowed us to apply what we learned while deepening our understanding of the division鈥檚 real-world challenges and workflows

Additionally, working on a team project helped me improve my analytical thinking and communication skills, particularly when presenting our final pitch. The experience also strengthened my ability to collaborate effectively in a high-pressure, fast-paced environment.
