SAIPA Graduate Programme 2023 (PwC South Africa Graduate Careers)

The strategy, The New Equation, is about how PwC brings together unique combinations of people, powered by technology, galvanizing ourselves as a community of solvers to address those dual challenges. The foundation of the strategy is the multidisciplinary model, which allows PwC to help clients build trust and deliver sustained outcomes by bringing together deep expertise across a broad range of capabilities. It is this combination of capabilities and the ability to look at things from different perspectives that are so essential to delivering high-quality and real impacts for clients, stakeholders, and society at large in Africa and globally.

PwC run the Graduate programme alongside the South African Institute of Professional Accountants (SAIPA). Its graduates in this programme serve their articles over three years in the Company’s Assurance practice and learn through hands-on coaching.
