Apprentices: Trusts

Anyone who wants to make a real success of their professional training needs not just practical experience but a lot of expertise and a good general education - that's a fact. You'll gain this knowledge at a vocational business school!

• Two days a week you'll learn German, French and English, history and political science, economics, law and business administration, mathematics and information / communication / administration;
• You'll attend some  courses which are more industry-focused. 
• We will provide internal course for technical issues which are very important to your work at PwC, giving you a very solid knowledge base. 

• A good start in our company – thanks to a good introduction phase.
• A varied apprenticeship covering the most important areas of the company.
