On Tuesday, October 6, 2020, Mariela Guerra, Talent Acquisition & Business Recruiting Manager for PricewaterhouseCoopers, spoke to the members of the Accounting Students Association about the accounting firm and all the internship opportunities the firm offers students. To begin the info-session, Guerra first spoke generally about the firm to give the students an idea of what PwC is. In doing so, she indicated how the firm has remained at the forefront of COVID-19, as it is constantly innovating with new technology. In fact, PwC has what they know as the Digital Academy, which they use to constantly continue training their employees. In addition, she then listed all the opportunities the firm offers for students to take part in its internships and programs. She explained how the internships they offer usually serve so that the firm may evaluate the performance of their interns and then possibly offer new internship opportunities or job offers. She mentioned that first-year students can participate in various activities and programs offered by the accounting firm. The opportunities she mentioned were "Career Preview, Explore, Start Internship & Advanced Internship." She stressed that the firm accepts second-year students for their “Start Internship,” which is usually the best place to start for anyone who is interested in working with PwC. To finish off the info-session, Mariela showed a video about how the application and interview process for a position with the firm is.
