Year 12 Nelson Thomlinson School –– The Cumberland

“Dream Placement was so much better than I thought it would be.  I had never done anything like this before, or even applied for work experience – but I am particularly interested in a career in finance and I wanted to see from the inside how an organisation like the Cumberland works.  I was particularly impressed by the high level of access, and we were able to see how the leaders operate and direct their staff, and how they collaborate across different departments.   The selection process was particularly tough because I am not used to trying to sell myself, but everyone at the Cumberland made me feel completely at home.”
