Black Talent in Business
We know there is more to do to improve the representation of Black talent in our industry and within our early careers pipeline. Programmes like Black Talent in Business play an important role in helping us address this gap by widening access, building confidence and connections, and creating clearer pathways into our profession.
This programme is designed to give Black undergraduate students the opportunity to explore careers at PwC, build their understanding of our business and gain greater access to the opportunities we offer. Come and connect with people from across the firm, hear first-hand about their experiences and develop the skills, knowledge and networks that can help you build a successful career.
Risk and Compliance
If you’re curious about how a complex business keeps moving safely, confidently and at pace, our risk and compliance teams are a great place to start your career. You’ll get close to the real decisions that shape how our clients operate, helping them to understand where risks could arise, how controls protect, and what good governance looks like in practice. You’ll also learn how to navigate complex regulatory environments, translating requirements into practical action that supports and protects the business. It’s work that combines problem-solving, judgement and collaboration, with plenty of opportunity to learn how different parts of organisations fit together.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
