Unlocking youth potential through an Urban Synergy corporate insight day begins with providing access to corporate environments. Urban Synergy teamed up with PwC to deliver a transformative Corporate insight day at PwC’s London office for 30 ambitious Year 12 and 13 students from CTK Aquinas.
Opening doors to career possibilities
For many young people from underrepresented backgrounds, stepping into a global professional services firm is a pivotal moment. The immersive afternoon opened with a motivating keynote from senior PwC leadership, offering insights into corporate success and career trajectories. Students then explored industry trends during an interactive session with PwC’s AI team, highlighting how technology is revolutionising modern business.
Relatable role models and speed mentoring
Demystifying corporate pathways is essential for building youth confidence. Urban Synergy led panel interviews featuring PwC role models, apprentices, and graduates who shared their diverse journeys into the business world. The event concluded with an energetic speed mentoring session, where students engaged directly with staff, asked probing questions, and gained practical advice on career development.
