New World New Skills Work Experience is a paid, in-person work experience programme from PwC for school and college students from lower socio-economic backgrounds. It gives participants a snapshot of life at PwC and an introduction to the firm’s early careers pathways.
Across four days in selected UK offices, students take part in interactive sessions led by PwC people, learn about different parts of the business, and hear from staff across a range of grades. The programme also includes networking opportunities and skills-focused sessions designed to build confidence, employability and awareness of the working world.
Participants work as part of a team on a business challenge and gain first-hand insight into how PwC supports clients. The experience is intended to help students understand the firm, develop useful workplace skills, and explore whether PwC’s entry-level and Flying Start degree routes could be right for them in the future.
