PwC Gets Out in the Community<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

To help educate even more young jobseekers about various <\/span>professional career<\/span> opportunities with PwC, Explore Careers recently helped their team facilitate a super-successful roadshow (not to brag, but students even gave it an average satisfaction rating of 9.3\/10). PwC\u2019s passionate presenters shared their industry insights into what all the different student programs and <\/span>career pathways<\/span> offered, their personal <\/span>professional career<\/span> journeys, and the educational pathways that led <\/span>them <\/span><\/i>to PwC!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Post-event, students were asked if they would consider working in this industry after getting a breakdown of all the different opportunities and <\/span>job pathways<\/span>. Here\u2019s what some of them had to say:\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes. I\u2019ve always been interested in <\/span><\/i>Professional Services<\/span><\/i>. This area interests me, and it is what I\u2019m good at.\u201d <\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYes, it sounds exactly like what I want. A good company with large amounts of clients that I can gain knowledge on and work with. Additionally, the aspect of working internationally was very attractive.\u201d<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPossibly. There seems to be lots of opportunities for a quality career.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, don\u2019t just take it from us, take it from the students who attended their roadshow!
