Overview of Role

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

5/5

My role was as an auditor. As I was in 3rd year I joined as an AS2 so I mainly worked through testing FSLIs and coaching occasionally.

To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

5/5

I really enjoy the program, both the uni side and working at PwC.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

5/5

This role has definitely developed my communication skills. It's also taught me a lot of independence and has massively boosted my confidence

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?

4/5

During covid it was a bit less organised however normally it is really good. As soon as we join PwC theres always people to help if you're unsure on what to do

How much support do you receive from your employer?

5/5

A lot, especially on placement, we get mostly all the same perks as being an employee. When were at uni we get the financial support, we get a reduced yearly fee and also free books.

How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

4/5

We do get a lot of support from our uni, occasionally we have a bad lecturer, but I feel as though everyone gets this. On all the modules involving the ACA however our lecturers have been amazing

How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

5/5

Massively, having done now 12 of my 15 ACA exams, I felt a lot more confident and knowledgeable throughout this placement. Being able to apply your knowledge in the real world is also a huge help

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

3/5

We have loads of socials and also a lot of social clubs to get involved in. Unfortunately, only joining for 3 months a year (during busy season) it is a bit harder to get involved but once we join permanently there's a lot available
