Through this program I understood the effective and efficient use of MS Excel, excel shortcuts. As a final year BBA student I had the theoretical knowledge about the financial statements of an organization. This program helped me gain practical knowledge on it. Thank you Goldman Sachs for such a wonderful Job Simulation.

I really enjoyed how Goldman Sachs is willing to provide lessons to teach the future of the company how to operate Excel, which is a very vital skill to have in order to be successful. I was able to follow it thoroughly with the instructions given, and learn new skills in Excel that I wasn't familiar with.
