Flying Start degree Programme Review

When on placement I am involved in multiple different tasks. This varies day to day as it depends what client I am booked on and if I am working from client site or the PwC offices. Usually in an average working day I attend meetings with my team, complete EGAs and complete any other admin work that other members of the team need assistance with.

I have developed multiple existing skills throughout placement with PwC, such as communication, time management and organisational. I have had to communicate with a variety of people, from managers within my team to the clients finance directors. I have had to balance amounts of work and meet specific deadlines, therefore having to choose carefully what tasks take priority in order to be the most efficient.

I have enjoyed it a lot, having the opportunity to experience working within the PwC as a valued team member has provided invaluable learning opportunities and has helped put into practise what I have been studying at university.

Quite organised. Some aspects of the training and induction days to the offices could've been organised better however overall it is a well structured programme

The support network within PwC when on placement was great. I was connected with a senior manager and an associate who supported and guided me throughout the whole placement.

Enough support, it is more independent when working towards qualifications.

Helps me understand the work I am completing on placement.

Yes, there was the option to get involved in social activities within the office. There was also networking events and socials regularly.

Yes

Impressive firm to work for, important large clients, great support network within the firm, lots of employees so very social

Be a team player and considerate of others when completing group assessment activities.
