What job site did you find it on? Just to know about any future things like this that become available, because if it hadn't been for TSR I wouldn't have found out about these insight days.

It's easier to get rid of AIDS than it is to block Milkround emails.

Nice find. Added to the OP.
Thanks for posting the BoAML one.

Does anyone know of any other insight days apart from these 2 and the DB Athlete Academy?

Nope. The only info I have is what is there and I will admit it is rather ambiguous.

"We will be holding two Front Office Summer Insight Days for 1st and 2nd year students from any degree discipline"

Sounds like it doesn't but I agree it is a big vague.
