Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My internship was a short 3-weeks due to COVID restrictions. It took place entirely online. PwC worked to seamlessly transition us into a virtual working experience. I was given the opportunity to work on Internal Audits for clients, my day-to-day involved shadowing, minuting and drafting ToR's for clients.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Yes - the internship provided great opportunities for interns to derive their own opportunities for its duration. As interns we were given buddies who guided us into conversations with senior members of staff, we worked with clients and got a great insight into how PwC functions.

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I was supported by two buddies in my business unit and proposition who guided me throughout the experience in an informal setting. I also had a career coach who supported me on determining what I wanted to gain from the internship and how this would be achieved.
