Young Professionals Reviews 40

I liked the structure of the event, there wasn't one thing I would change.

The organizers were nice and welcoming. Also the panels on the program helped me realize that studying for a specific degree is not the be all and end all of ones career.

It was a very insightful and wonderful experience to meet women my age in one place. I felt very united. The talks led by women of different organisations taught me things I never thought about before so I am so very grateful to have attended this event.

Had wonderful experience there

good experience

I attended a Goldman Sachs in person event on Monday (9th Feb) which I signed up for through YP. It was very well organised and thought out in order to be extremely insightful for all attendees. It allowed a balance of insight, with an opportunity for curiosity through a Q&A. I also found it particularly helpful to speak to the apprentices at the end of the event - thank you!

The Young Professionals x Goldman Sachs event was incredibly insightful, with excellent communication in the lead-up. It was great to hear from Apprentice Champions, apprentices, and recruiters, and I especially enjoyed the networking session where I could speak directly with members of the Goldman Sachs team. This was my first in-person event with Young Professionals and I was thoroughly impressed. I’m looking forward to attending many more. Thank you, Dan!

I can’t say anything wrong. All there events are up building and give young people like me a chance to envision whatever future we want for ourselves full of success!

The Lloyds Banking Group Skills Fest in Birmingham, was a highly engaging and insightful event.

The interactive activities, especially around spotting scams and fraud, were applicable to real life scenarios, and the environment made it easy to network and learn. I left feeling better informed about the range of career pathways within finance.

It was also great to meet the CEO, who was very approachable and charismatic. A big thank you to Young Professionals Business for creating such a valuable experience for young people.

It was really informative and educational session which really helped me through many things such as how you work in a team with new people and how the professional life in offices is absolutely inspired by it

Great and insightful experience but attending the Lloyd’s skill fest which was set for two different dates far apart , the content was exactly the same

Great networking opportunities and very fun activities

Incredibly helpful and interesting. I had a great time in the Lloyd's bank Skillfest and it was one of the best events I have been recommended.

Young Professionals has truly changed my perception of professional careers. I once thought that they were limited to academic or well off backgrounds, however I’ve learnt that anyone can succeed so long as they put the effort in and have things, like young professionals, to support them.

I really enjoyed my experience there.
It was such a wonder that I got the chance to communicate with new people my age and to bind our minds together for the challenges we had to have a go at. I think this event would be very useful for students like me because I’m a very social person and what I’ve seen at the event and my experience, I would go there to apply for a job considering the nice hospitality

Great experience, very engaging and had a great day at Lloyds Banking group skills fest event organised by Young Professionals

No words - Their lloyds bank experience actually gave me a wider career field that I didn't even think of cant wait for the next one

The people at every event I have gone to have been so welcoming and supportive.

I went to the KPMG Female Apprenticeship event through YP and I had such a blast. The session was very informative and clear in explaining how the KPMG application process works. I was given an insight to the lives of the audit manager Claudia, had a fantastic host Nerissa and the chance to listen to a panel of really passionate and down to earth apprentices who shared their experience and gave invaluable advice. I truly wished it was longer, it did not feel like a formal event but rather a genuine conversation between current apprentices and aspiring apprentices, thank you to YP and KPMG for making this happen !!
