PwC Invites Students To Get Career ‘HeadStart’

PwC Bermuda invites parents of students currently attending or considering college or university to get a ‘HeadStart’ on a career of a lifetime.

Find out more about a rewarding and challenging career in professional services at the PwC Bermuda Parent Reception on Monday, November 18 at 5:30pm to 7:30 pm at the Fairmont Hamilton Princess.

Parents can connect with PwC professionals at this annual reception and discover the opportunities available through the firm’s HeadStart programme. The event will explain to parents the hands-on work experience, coaching and mentoring support PwC offers students to help them achieve their goals through Headstart. Speaking at the reception is Darren Johnston, CEO, PwC Bermuda.

“HeadStart helps to give Bermuda’s future young professionals the exposure and experience they will need to excel in the professional services job market. It also helps students develop a set of core competencies that will assist them to succeed in the personal lives, such as relationship-building, sharing and collaborating with colleagues, communication, self-development, open-mindedness, and integrity,” Mr Johnston said.

David Gibbons, Director, PwC Bermuda, said, “With the shrinking global job market it is vitally important for young people to make contact with potential employers as early as possible and fully understand the opportunities available to them.

“Only with this information can they truly make decisions – both educational and personal – that could potentially affect the rest of their lives. Parents as trusted advisors to their children should make use of every possible opportunity to get the best information to be conveyed to them.”

The programme consists of full-time associate and summer internship employment, as well as the annual Peter Mitchell Scholarship award. Parents who would like to attend the reception may contact Risa Hunter at 295-2000 ext. 7422 or pwcbermuda.student@bm.pwc.com by the morning of the 18 November to reserve space.
