If you've not yet decided what you'd like to do next academic year, and are keen to start building a successful career in business, our school and college leaver roles could be the right fit for you.

You can make the most of your good A-Levels (240 UCAS or above), by starting work straight away. You'll earn a competitive salary whilst studying towards a professional qualification. You’ll be part of a team, working on client projects, learning on-the-job, and building the in-depth business knowledge you need to progress.

Our School and College leaver programme is a real alternative to university, if you're interested in a career in accountancy, finance or consulting. You'll learn and develop the specialist skills our clients look for and value most. This includes studying towards a professional qualification within a nationally recognised framework, with support from us all the way.

If you join us straight from school or college, you'll earn a wage and get experience while working towards a number of qualifications. In professional services, there's rarely an average day. Your work is likely to be varied and can sometimes be challenging. You can find out more about the nature of the work you'd be doing by visiting our website, but whichever part of our business you join, you'll support our teams, doing anything from using systems or doing research to drafting communication or going with senior workmates to meetings.
