Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
I was able to gain hands-on experience with project work as well shadowing my mentor in her meetings. I also attended various webinars on the peoples networks and mental health support at PwC.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was amazing to learn about the variety of roles that were available to management consultants. I was surprised by how diverse the area of consulting can be and how flexible PwC is in allowing its employees to experience that diversity.

Skills Development

I have hugely developed my communication skills, since I met so many new people on the program and had to practice introducing myself and leading conversations. I also improved my time management skills, since I had to manage my meeting schedule and work schedule myself.
