I am studying towards my ACA qualification and have learnt a lot of keyboard shortcuts and excel shortcuts too.

I really enjoy the programme as a whole. I get along well with all of my team but it is nice to have quite a few other people around me who are my age group too. The Company Culture encourages growth by providing opportunities for on the job learning.

I feel valued - managers are able to give impact awards for when you demonstrate EYs values buy going the extra mile. We have teams within the department who will be there as support and go to socials together e.g. pool night.

We had an excellent induction week where we were introduced to the role in the firm and allowed some time to get to know the other new joiners. College is marked out so that we have exams roughly every 6 months. This can be very difficult to balance alongside work.

I feel that our training provider could give us more support. This has been discussed with our management and steps are being taken to help with this.

A really decent amount of support. We each are allocated a buddy to help us get started (they are close to our own age) and a counsellor who is more senior and can help direct you to the right people should you feel you're not getting enough support.

I still live at home so a large portion of my salary goes on travel.

Lots of company events, activities and opportunities to volunteer. I am taking part in a charity run in July in Battersea park with a few other people in my department.

Yes

The opportunity to study the ACA as well as earning a wage and gaining on the job experience is an amazing position to be in. I am really glad that I joined.

I would recommend that they research EY and its values and think of ways to link the skills they have with EYs vision. Research the job/role they are applying for and make sure they are comfortable with showing how their skills apply to the job.
