PwC Open Day
PwC are having an Open Day in Bristol, paying expenses:
“As a result of the high interest we’ve received for our technology career routes this year, we’ve decided to host an “Insight into Technology” Career Open Day in our Bristol office on Wednesday 10th February, from 10am -3.30pm.
This will provide students with a great opportunity to learn about the vital role technology plays in the business world, and to find out more about the various graduate and undergraduate career opportunities available in the West & Wales region, and across the UK. This will be a highly interactive event, which will explore the latest trends in technology and the future of technical innovation for businesses. Our Technology leadership team will run several group exercises and case studies throughout the day to help bring these trends to life, and our technology graduates and senior managers will be on hand throughout the day to answer any questions you might have.
We’ll also put on a networking lunch half way through the day, which will give you the chance to meet with a range of staff at the firm over a bite to eat. Finally, we’ll close the event by explaining what we look for in the recruitment process and how to submit a successful application for a position in technology or otherwise. ”
You are also able to claim back reasonable travel expenses (up to £150). To reserve your place on this event, please sign up via this link: http://pwc.to/1ZyAxtq
