We will give you in-depth insights into our everyday work and support you in gaining as much practical experience as possible.

How do we do this? At PwC, your coach and your buddy are always there to support you – no matter what. It is important to us that you get the most out of your internship, professionally and personally. We want to support you and your development. That’s why our internship programme offers social and networking events and workshops in addition to your daily learning on the job.
