PwC has announced a new remote learning Assured Skills Academy in data and analytics, with those completing the training being guaranteed a job interview with the professional services firm.
The Academy is offering 20 training places to people with degrees in any discipline, providing them with industry-relevant pre-employment training.
Learning will be delivered remotely by Belfast Metropolitan College and any subsequent employment at PwC will also be at home until the company can safely accommodate staff onsite.
The Academy is in partnership with the Department for the Economy.
