Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
It has been great fun joining the graduate scheme in PwC UK. I have met life-time friends here and have had so much fun with my peers and teams. The team-work culture inspires me and help me develop my skills with great support and caring.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I enjoy this programme a lot as the programme has attracted many young graduates as me who are still exploring new things in life and in career. I have made lots of friends here who are passionate and trustworthy.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have developed my communication skills and leadership skills by working on multiple engagements in different areas. I have been given more and more challenging tasks as I grow in the firm and that inspires me to improve myself.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
My programme consists of two parts: work and study. It requires us to improve our time management skills so that we can find a balance between these two parts of our lives. It is well structured because I have got opportunity to work which improves my understanding of study.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
I have received support from multiple parties from my employer, including my career coach, my buddy, my teams and my peers.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I have received great support from Kaplan tutors. However, it also requires a lot of self-learning where I had to spend great time in studying on my own time.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
The qualification has helped me understand the work content more as it covers a wide range of areas, including audit, assurance, financial reporting, banking, taxation, law etc.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
4/5
There are lots of social activities in the firm! There are a lot of opportunities, networking events and other team socials for you to get to know your colleagues better.
