For the 11th consecutive year running, Barclays' staff have run a Mock Assessment Centre at Greenwich. The day-long session, which took place earlier this week, gave a number of Greenwich's students a real feel for the sort of assessments popularly used when applying for internships, placements and graduate schemes in the corporate world. Interactive in nature, the day allowed students an insight into some of the recruitment processes used and something of a guide as to how to navigate - in what was a completely risk-free setting - an assessment centre style environment.
Like previous years, there was strong demand from students for a place at the event where, in addition to the mock assessments, there was a key speaker panel and a case study on lending money with Barclays which gave students a deeper understanding of the corporate world. The session also offered practical insights into the challenges of financial decision-making and provided students the chance to engage directly with experts in the field.
The University extends its sincere thanks to the Barclays team for again making this year possible and supporting our students' skills development.
