Our clients might want us to help them enter new markets, address the challenges created by organisational change, or draw up a sustainability strategy that aligns their commercial objectives with broader environmental and social concerns. Our clients range from household names across a diverse range of industries, from big-name broadcasters and high-street banks, to multinational telecoms operators and energy companies.
You’ll join our Management Consulting practice, where you’ll build core skills on a two-year market-leading programme. You’ll have the opportunity to learn about what we do across our different consulting business areas and work with clients to drive innovation and growth, manage costs and operate effectively. This will help you decide where you might specialise within core Consulting.

The Consulting experience
As a Junior Management Consultant, we’ll support you to study for a nationally recognised professional qualification while you’re also learning the ropes by working with our internal teams in your first year on the programme. You’ll gain valuable on-the-job experience and exposure to different types of projects while obtaining coaching from experts in their field, which will equip you with the skills to really make a difference. In your second year on the programme you’ll have the opportunity to gain exposure to client work across various industries and can expect to support client project teams with research, collecting and analysing data, project management and report writing.
Our client projects are resourced nationally, so you could be part of a team ranging from two to 200 members, working either in the office, remotely, or at a client's location based on the project's needs.
Joining as a School or College Leaver
There’s more to our people than intellect alone. To thrive in our practice, you'll need to welcome change. You’ll not only be analytical and numerate, you’ll also be articulate and confident when it comes to saying what you think. An open mind and a strong team ethic are vital too.
You’ll start your journey with us on an inclusive and engaging induction. It’ll introduce you to our business, how we operate and go to market. You’ll have the opportunity to build the mindset, knowledge, skills and behaviours required by our Consulting business today and into the future.
After the induction, you'll join your first project team. In your first year, you'll work on various internal projects to deepen your understanding of the Consulting business and enhance your skills and industry knowledge. In your second year, you'll continue supporting internal projects and also join client project teams, working at their locations, our offices, or remotely. This will provide you with valuable exposure to diverse industries and real-world issues.
You’ll complete a Junior Management Consulting Level 4 apprenticeship over two years. We work in collaboration with our training provider, The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA), to equip you with the technical knowledge and required skills and behaviours to enable you to thrive in your career with PwC.
The apprenticeship consists of 55 knowledge, skills and behaviours a junior management consultant is expected to acquire throughout the programme. The exam courses, skills days and work experience obtained in your first 15 -18 months will allow you to acquire these. They’ll then need to be demonstrated in the end point assessment, which consists of a written portfolio of evidence based on your work experience in those last six to nine months, followed by a presentation and interview.
After completing the scheme, you’ll be taken through our promotion process which will assess your eligibility to move on to the next stage of your career. If successful, you’ll join our Management Consulting graduate programme where you’ll undertake learning in a variety of specialist areas, from Finance, Risk and Technology to Operations and People and Organisation.
The minimum requirements are 112 UCAS tariff from up to three full A-Levels (or equivalent qualifications), and a Grade 4 or above in GCSE English Language and Mathematics (or equivalent).
Life in Consulting
We thrive in our collaborative culture. We work shoulder-to-shoulder, in close-knit, high-performing supportive teams, alongside our clients, to deliver value. It’s an approach that reinforces trust and strengthens our reputation for professionalism, but with lots of fun along the way. Our project-based work means we get to know each other well and creates a powerful, inclusive atmosphere, which will give you the opportunity to build lifelong relationships with inspiring people.
Feedback is important to help nurture our Consultants, providing on the spot support and advice which will help shape future conversations and projects. It’s a key part of our working culture and contributes to not only your personal growth and success, but the quality of your team's output too.
By joining PwC Consulting, you’ll also benefit from our ever growing professional network. If there’s an industry or sector you’re passionate about; whether that’s sports and entertainment, education or healthcare, manufacturing or growing enterprises, we’ll encourage you to use your network to be part of that opportunity. Networking and building relationships is at the core of Consulting and it’s this breath of clients which sets PwC Consulting apart. Who knows where your next project might be heading?
