"I applied to Centrica because I had heard of British Gas before, and knew it was a part of Centrica, as well as the significance of British Gas in the UK market. I have always been interested in the environmental side of the energy sector, so finding that I could combine this with the opportunity to pursue Finance, I wanted to apply to Centrica."
"The internship was relatively easy to apply to initially, with online questions, tests, and a pre-recorded video. This was all quite straight forward. There was then an assessment centre, which was made up of 3 parts, and was a bit longer. Although this initially seemed quite daunting, we were placed in small groups and led by graduates throughout the process, making it easier and more relaxed."
"I enjoyed the large amount of responsibility that I was given from day 1, as well as the supportive attitude from my team who helped me transition into my role. I also really liked the friendly vibe from the other interns in my cohort!"
"The programme has helped me to become much more confident in the workplace. Before this internship, I had never worked in an office environment, and was scared to speak up about anything in meetings. Now, I feel much more confident in doing so, and feel significantly more knowledgeable about the operations of Centrica."
"I would say to be honest about your previous knowledge - no one expects you to know loads before you start, and it will only disadvantage you if people aren't explaining things properly."
