Currently in the first year of his Business Management Apprenticeship, Nicholas recently joined our Belfast office where he works in our Operate Northern Ireland business. As one of our apprentices, Nicholas has the chance to work with a variety of clients whilst also studying for his bachelor's degree at Ulster University. 

“I’m really enjoying my role within PwC. I work with Business Operations, which involves facilitating client onboarding and completing risk checks.

One of the reasons why I chose the Degree Apprenticeship is that it gave me the opportunity to earn a salary while I study. The theory I learn at university is completely relevant to the tasks I complete within my role at PwC - it’s invaluable hands-on experience.”

Before joining us here at PwC, Nicholas wasn’t sure what to expect. Reflecting on his time with us so far, he discusses what he’s enjoyed most and the elements that have surprised him: “I love that my role gives me the opportunity to work with teams all over the UK. PwC is all about teamwork and it’s great to be able to collaborate with colleagues from different offices and to come together to find solutions to problems.

We’re all working to make a difference, big or small. Whether you’re building bespoke solutions for clients or helping a member of the team, your contribution is always valued.”

Outside of work, Nicholas spends most of his time with his many pets, including his four dogs, his rabbit, guinea pig and turtle. “One of the great things about working at PwC is the blended approach to working and empowered flexibility. This means I can take my dogs out for a walk at lunch time when working from home.”
