About PwC

At PwC, we work together to create a better tomorrow for our people, our clients, and the communities we serve. We approach problems with curiosity, challenging the status quo to develop innovative solutions in partnership with Australian businesses and not-for-profits. Together, we strive to make a positive impact and drive meaningful change.

That’s where our people come in. Whether you’re just beginning your career or have plenty of experience under your belt, we believe your unique perspective can help us to deliver valued insights that make a real impact. Here, you’ll be surrounded by peers who have your back and leaders who support you, in an environment that encourages continuous learning and growth.

What is the Trainee Program?

Combine your university studies with work experience to build the perfect foundation for your career, all while receiving professional and financial support in a paid role.

To be eligible to join the Trainee Program, you must have two full-time years of study remaining on your undergraduate degree course and have already completed:

• the first year of a three-year single degree; or,
• the first two years of a four-year double degree; or,
• the first three years of a five-year degree.

Balance is important to us. That's why you'll receive one day of paid study while working four days a week on a paid salary.  After this period, take a break from work to complete your degree.

Your Future Team
In the Audit (PwC Private) team, you’ll find yourself in a culture that values curiosity, collaboration and critical thinking. Alongside your peers, you’ll understand and resolve complex issues being faced by high profile retailers in Australia, or work with clients at different stages of their business lifecycle, understand the issues and complexities they face and provide them with meaningful solutions. You'll use problem-solving, integrity and a growth mindset to make an impact with iconic retailers, significant private entities, private equity enterprises and start-ups.

• Use your skills in accounting and finance to make an impact across various industries.
