Amanda Line, PwC Partner, discusses the importance of PwC's Academy's Young Employable Scholar (YES) Programme and how it's equipping young students with the skills, knowledge and mindset for a career in accountancy and finance.
PwC’s Young Employable Scholar (YES) programme prepares high school graduates for careers in accountancy and finance. How does it do this, and how does the programme elevate participants above their peers?
The YES Programme is a unique combination of a degree, a professional qualification and on-the-job work experience with PwC, one of the largest professional services firm in the world. A small and privileged cohort of school leavers join PwC for a three year programme during which they earn a bachelors’ degree in Accountancy and Finance, complete 75 per cent of the ACCA qualification and spend one year working as young professionals within the PwC Assurance practice. This programme is unique in the GCC and allows ambitious school leavers with a career driven focus to acquire a clear set of professional skills and relevant knowledge to become completely corporate-ready just three years after leaving school.
To what extent does the future success of private companies depend on their involvement with school and university students?
