New World New Skills Work Experience

You’ll be in our offices for four days meeting our people face-to-face. This is a unique opportunity to get a feel for our teams and the work they do.

We’ll introduce you to the different parts of our business through interactive sessions. These will be delivered by our people across the firm, so you’ll have chance to hear about the work they do and ask any questions along the way. There will be networking sessions with people across many grades at PwC from Associates to Partners. You’ll also be taking part in skills sessions that will help you in your chosen career. Finally, you’ll be introduced to our entry-level programmes and Flying Start degree programmes to learn about the career opportunities available to you.  

We aim to deliver the kind of experience that helps you recognise your full potential and get excited about the future. 

You’ll learn about PwC, the work we do and develop key employability skills in readiness for your future career.

For the duration of the programme:

• you’ll receive an hourly pay
• we’ll provide you with a PwC laptop to work on
