How was your experience of the summer internship?

I’m interested in what tasks did you undertake? And what specific skills did you develop during the internship? Were you able to make the most of any networking opportunities?

    My experience of the summer internship was great, hence what led me to accept an offer for the graduate scheme. I was able to assist on projects which gave me good exposure to the type of work I would be doing in the role. This included attending client meetings and pieces of analysis on excel. There were lots of networking opportunities not only with the team I was with but also with the other summer interns!

    Hi Rachel. I completed the internship in 2016 in GPS Audit in Southampton. I was allocated to real client engagements, working with EY teams to complete audits around Hampshire. I was given a huge amount of support and coaching by the teams, and communicated that I wanted to get stuck in. It was interesting timing for me in terms of networking as I was the only intern at the office and a lot of the associates were out at college, but still managed to attend the two events they had on for the office. When you do the internship you are allocated a buddy (an associate) and a counsellor (a manager) to support you.
