Summer Internship programme

At PwC, the future of work looks a lot like you

A paid placement that runs from November through to February.

It’s the perfect way for you to get exposure to PwC through client work, thought leadership and all the technology that powers our teams. So if you want to join our human-led, tech powered community of solvers (and potentially secure yourself a graduate role) we’ll support you every step of the way. 

When you join us as an intern the opportunities are endless:

  • Welcome week - getting set up for success with a buddy to help you through

  • PwC business tools training

  • Dedicated coaching

  • Real work for clients 

  • A chance to present the Intern Summer Project to our CEO

  • Regular learning sessions over the summer 

  • Opportunity to develop a professional network

Eligibility 

  • You’ll be a New Zealand or Australian citizen or resident; or a holder of a valid work visa allowing full time employment in New Zealand for the duration of the Summer Internship.
  • You’ll be studying towards a degree-level qualification (we’re pretty flexible on discipline, check out our business units for more information).
  • You'll have completed your first year of undergraduate study at the time of applying.
  • You'll be available for the duration of the Summer Internship - from November to February.
