  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • PwC have offered opportunities outside of the programme as next steps such as the flying start degree and higher apprenticeship for the programme leavers which is very beneficial for someone who is interested in that field. I do agree that it has provided many opportunities outside of the work experience.
