PwC has record level of graduate recruits

PwC in the Isle of Man has recruited its highest ever intake of graduates on the ICAEW professional training programme this year. Eight of the graduates are to join the Assurance practice, with two others joining the Tax and Actuarial teams.

To qualify for a PwC student place, applicants are required to have at least 300 UCAS points or a minimum of 32 International Baccalaureate points and, if studying for a degree, a predicted 2:1 degree result. Graduates can have a degree in a variety of disciplines to join the programme, not necessarily in maths or accountancy.

In addition to academic qualifications, students must demonstrate the ability to build and sustain relationships, and have the aptitude to make a positive impact within the company and with clients, while developing and shaping their own career.

HR Manager Samantha Pemberton says ‘We are always looking to build on our success and for individuals who share this aspiration and want to be part of it. People who are motivated and committed to a career in professional services sffgwill feel stretched and challenged at times, but will have all the support needed to be successful in their career.’

The newly recruited tax and audit students commenced their three year training contract this month and are studying towards their ACA professional qualification.
