If you’re in Year 12 (Year 13 in NI and S5 in Scotland) and you’re keen to understand how you can progress your career in the world of business, accounting or technology at PwC, our Virtual Insight Week offers you a fantastic opportunity to do just this. During this action packed week you can choose from a range of sessions covering Accounting, Business, Technology and your career development. You’ll also have the chance to connect with our people and hear their stories. 

The programme will run virtually across five days from Monday 26 July – Friday 30 July 2021.

North Back to Schools Sessions:

These sessions are for Year 12 and 13 students who are interested in a career at PwC with options including Accounting, Consulting, Technology and PwC Operate.

The sessions will last approximately 45 minutes each, including some time for questions. Students will hear from local staff who’ve joined us via our Flying Start degree programmes or our School & College Leaver programmes, helping them gain an insight into what we do and what opportunities are available to them at PwC.

Following your feedback we’ll be offering two live sessions on:

Tuesday 9th February – 11-12pm (to tie in with National Apprenticeship Week)

Thursday 25th February – 4.30-5.30pm

If you’d like to register your class to join either of these sessions, please fill in your details on  this Google Form.

We’ll then be able to send you full joining instructions and links a minimum of 48 hours prior to the event. Should schools still be working remotely when the events take place, we’ll send the joining instructions to you, with the ask that you then share this with your students (indicated on the google form) as we won’t have any way of contacting your students directly.

If you’re unable to make either of these sessions, we’ll also be offering 15 minute bite-sized, pre-recorded material designed for you to present to your students during form time, or whenever best suits you during your teaching day. We hope in this way we can be as flexible as possible to work around your busy schedules. 

We’ve launched our new Ignite Series of lectures to inspire students and provide guidance and advice on what studying a creative subject and working in the creative industry could be like.

These workshops are running every Wednesday, 3.30 – 4.30pm and are completely FREE to attend 

You can book a place to join with your class, or students can book independently.
