At PwC, we know that when people from diverse backgrounds, with different points of view, work together, good things happen - for our clients, our people and our society.  

That’s why we’re working hard to increase access and opportunity for people from groups that are currently under-represented within PwC. We know students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds sometimes face additional challenges and therefore have less access to opportunities.

That’s why we run New World, New Skills. It’s a paid work-experience programme designed to provide an opportunity for school students from lower-socio economic backgrounds to experience a snapshot of life at PwC. It's your chance to learn all about PwC, the working world, and our early careers opportunities. This is right for you if you're in Year 12 in England/Wales, Year 13 in NI or S5 in Scotland.

For the duration of the programme:

• You’ll receive an hourly pay in line with National Living Wage
• We’ll provide you with a PwC laptop to work on 
• We’ll provide free lunches and cover all reasonable travel expenses.

In return, we’ll get to know you and help you develop your skills to take the next step in your career. You’ll leave knowing more about our entry level programmes and Flying Start degree programmes, should you wish to apply to PwC in the future.

This year’s New World, New Skills programme will take place from Monday 3rd to Thursday 6th August 2026 across a range of our offices. We look forward to welcoming you.
