Event Round-Up: Insight Event with Direct Line Group in Liverpool! We had an amazing day at our Insight Event with Direct Line Group in their Liverpool office today. Thank you to everyone who joined us and contributed to making it a fantastic experience. Here are some key takeaways from the event: 🔹 Hands-On Experience: Participants engaged in interactive workshops and business simulation exercises, gaining a real-world feel for working at DLG.  🔹Fast-Track to Success: Students had the unique opportunity to fast-track their applications for DLG's Apprenticeship programme starting in Sep 24! 🔹 Networking Opportunities: The event provided a valuable chance to network with professionals and peers, enhancing skills and building connections within one of the UK’s leading companies. There were three dynamic sessions throughout the day, each filled with enthusiasm and insightful discussions. It was fantastic to see Year 13 students, gap year seekers, and university students exploring new career possibilities. This event really was a workshop with a twist, including interactive insurance claim games and some “speed dating” networking with the DLG team.
