TRIP-HOSTING EMPLOYER
Professional Services
Our employer partners periodically host visits to their workplaces by groups of students, who get a chance to meet employees and ask questions. Volunteers and students then get to work on a challenge that gives a flavour of what the organisation does.
PricewaterhouseCoopers is the world’s largest professional services firm, providing advice and support for businesses in anything from taxes to dealing with climate change. They have a wide range of clients including Debenhams, Tesco, Samsung, Sony and Barclays. They also oversee the balloting process for the Oscars!
