PwC - Career and talent development

We will provide the support and encouragement you need to succeed. Our training programmes are underpinned by a learning environment that broadens and deepens your knowledge, and stresses the relative importance of learning from doing, learning from others and formal training. That means you’ll learn most from an outstanding variety of work, picking up the business, personal and technical skills you need to do well.

If you’re on the path to a professional qualification, we’re with you all the way. We’ll financially support you through your exams and help you prepare fully with study and exam leave. Plus you’ll enjoy widespread support along the way – from expert tutors and a dedicated Professional Qualifications Team, as well as your People Manager and peers. Longer term, you may have the opportunity to try new things too.

You might work in different teams and offices; sample different clients and projects; try out new roles and even other business areas. It will all help you progress in line with your personal goals as well as our ever-changing business needs.

Training you will receive

In your first two to three years you’ll focus on getting a good balance of business, personal and technical skills. For many, working towards a professional qualification will be part of your technical skills training. Your first exam attempt will be fully funded by us.

You may experience different methods of learning, as we appreciate that people like to learn using different techniques, and benefit from the flexibility this brings. Methods range from classroom courses, e-learning and remote study supported by online learning tools, all are designed to help you build the skills and knowledge you need to pass your exams on your first attempt.

It’s worth knowing, we have excellent pass rates, usually well above the Professional bodies pass rates. We understand working towards a professional qualification is a significant commitment and requires self-discipline and motivation.

This is why we make sure you’ll have access to a dedicated Professional Qualifications Team, and have access to a strong support network which will include - external tutors, your people manager, buddies and your peers. All of them will be familiar with what you’re going through, as they’ve experienced it as well.

Coaching you will receive 

Everyone is different, and we’ll make sure you have the support, guidance and advice you need. You’ll start having constructive and informative, one-to-one conversations about your development goals early. Your first will be with your people manager during your induction. You’ll also have a buddy to help you settle in during your first few weeks; and a partner or director mentor to boost your understanding of both us, and your longer-term opportunities.
