‘Careers in the Curriculum' Case Studies
Our ‘Careers in the Curriculum’ Case Studies focus on how Maths, English and Science are relevant to our roles within PwC and in business.
Our Business Case Study Challenges aim to simulate some of the work that PwC does and have been designed by client-facing staff.
Students are presented with a fictional client and business challenge that they must solve. They must work together using the resource pack provided to agree upon a recommendation to solve the challenge and then pitch to the client to win a bid.
These sessions are also designed to simulate an assessment centre helping students to develop multiple employability skills needed in many recruitment processes.
Sessions are 1 hour long, however can be extended across two lessons to give pupils more time to prepare and deliver their pitches.
We have also created some additional guidance for parents/carers on using the toolkit resources at home.

Case Study 1: Consulting Case Study
Students become consultants within the Management Consulting Team taking on a fictional client, Freshways - a supermarket who is looking to reduce their food waste footprint.
Pupils work together to produce a pitch outlining what Freshways and other supermarkets are doing to reduce food waste, and suggesting one key recommendation Freshways should prioritise to achieve their aim.
