What you’ll do on the placement
If your undergraduate degree includes an industry placement, PwC is a great place to do it. Few organisations deal with such a broad range of clients and sectors. Few organisations offer our scope and scale of professional services or bring together so many different skills and perspectives from across the globe. Few can give you such a unique perspective on the rapidly changing AI-enabled business world.
Take one of our 11-month paid placements and you’ll have a real role, working alongside graduate trainees, experienced professionals and industry-leading experts. You’ll learn about our firm, gain exposure to a wide range of clients, work on a number of different projects, build valuable business skills, and gain priceless experience. It’s an exceptional opportunity and a powerful education.
What you'll gain
Our placements put you at the heart of the action. Contributing to a range of internal and client projects, you’ll be part of a highly skilled team.
Experiencing life inside one of the world's largest professional services organisations is a fantastic way to build your commercial awareness and interpersonal skills. It’s also a lot of fun. As you’d expect from a business of this scale, the work can be intense at times. But you’ll have incredible support at every stage and a competitive rewards package to recognise your hard work.
This year we have roles in Management Consulting
In Management Consulting, we use our understanding of how business works and how technology can create competitive advantage to help clients deliver profitable growth. That might mean helping businesses understand, and create better experiences for, their customers and employees. It might mean optimising financial management, driving operational efficiency, advising on workforce effectiveness or bringing together a range of interrelated projects to deliver broad strategic outcomes.
Throughout, you’ll learn how to provide business leaders with the data and insight they need to make smarter decisions. And you’ll develop strategies and solutions that streamline processes, improve productivity and drive business performance.
