4G Pilot Trip: Illustrative Experiences

“

”

“

The best experience was connecting with the client and knowing how much our presence and active involvement meant to them. They were so empowered to move forward with their ideas. Knowing we brought them some energy and encouragement was quite special. ”

Solving a real business problem in a second language in a very condensed timeframe.

“

”

It was valuable to see how the skills that I have developed as a BTA can be universally applied.

“

”

Making amazing friends at Deloitte and learning from truly unique and inspirational individuals.

Going into the village and meeting the local people helps give perspective into the people's lives you are trying to impact.

“

”

“”

Each team stayed up late to do as much as we could, which shows how deeply engaged and passionate we were about our work.

I learned my own development areas and things I need to improve upon that weren't necessarily presented in my everyday office life, which will be invaluable for my own life and career.
