Year 12 student at Westminster City School, Jamoi, commented saying:

“I had an enlightening visit to Gate One at Havas! I experienced a real-life assessment center which provided me with a glimpse into the dynamic world of consulting. The Q&A panel was a valuable opportunity to engage with seasoned professionals, Mohini Karia and Gemma Sarjeant, who shared information about their careers and the industry's latest trends.

“We navigated through challenging scenarios which not only tested my skills but also sharpened my problem-solving abilities. The panel discussion offered a platform to pose thoughtful questions and receive first-hand advice on excelling in the consulting domain.
