 Programme
 Strategy&amp; Black Talent is a supported recruitment pathway to a Summer Internship, where you'll meet and learn from our inspiring Black leaders. They’ll share their career journeys with you and explain why we’re passionate about diversity, giving you the chance to find out what a future career with us in strategy consulting could look like. You’ll have the opportunity to attend a virtual insight day followed by an (optional) in-person networking event hosted in our London office.
 Black talent is currently underrepresented in our industry and recent stats have shown that there are only 11 Black equity partners across the largest four accountancy firms in the UK, with over 50% of whom are partners at PwC. We know we have more work to do in reaching Black students and encouraging them to explore opportunities at PwC. We hope this pathway will help pave the way to a more diverse workplace and support those with Black African or Caribbean heritage, including those from Black African and Caribbean mixed/multiple ethnic groups.
 
 Business area
 PwC’s Strategy&amp; team is a market-leading consulting practice consisting of approximately 400 consultants in London, and benefits from the broad expertise and international reach of the wider PwC and Strategy&amp; networks. Strategy&amp; can offer you a career with diverse and challenging assignments - our teams work with a wide variety of UK, European and Global corporate clients (from large consumer goods companies, online retailers, start-ups and FinTechs to charities, government departments and the public sector) and investors (private equity and investment funds). We help our clients solve their most important challenges and redefine the future through a range of projects, such as growth strategy, market entry, mergers and acquisitions and value creation. We evaluate each client's unique proposition and market positioning, identifying both innovative opportunities for growth and risk areas that need to be addressed.
 
 What you'll do
 During the insight day, we’ll provide hints and tips on how to showcase your skills and experiences on your CV, how to write effective and relevant motivational question responses and begin to build your commercial awareness. There will also be a dedicated case study workshop based on a project that the Strategy&amp; team has recently completed, allowing you the opportunity to practice in a friendly, open and supportive environment. Throughout the day there are many opportunities to ask questions and network with the team.
 
 At a later date, attendees will then have the opportunity to join us in our London office for a networking evening, where you’ll meet our team in-person. They will speak candidly about strategy consulting and our firm, and answer any questions you may have.
 
 What you'll gain
 After attending the insight day and networking event, you’ll be able to continue the application process for a Summer Internship within the Strategy&amp; team. If successful at the next stage, you’ll be invited to take part in our assessment days.
