May 29 - EY Launches A-Level Student Scheme
Following on from the successful launch of this year’s Summer Internship Programme for graduates in Gibraltar, EY is extending the work opportunities with them to A-Level students.
A new, streamlined, summer programme will offer school students in year 12 a week’s experience of working with a global accountancy firm. Beginning 6th July, these younger students will combine audit and accounting work experience with soft skills development as they shadow and learn from the firm’s professionals.
Arianne Britto, Associate said: “Our graduate programme has attracted a very high calibre of applicants who we are confident represent the next generation of our team. We are fortunate to be able to offer the ‘Big Four’ experience of working for a globally recognised firm locally and so it seemed a natural progression to extend this to year 12 students.
“Our objective is to provide the students with a real feel for what working at EY is like before they embark on their final year at school. EY is a diverse firm, offering a broad range of services, which can often be a surprise to students who may have pre-conceived ideas of accountancy and our day to day roles. At the same time, we get to meet students who may well prove to be the future of our firm.”
In addition to these students and graduate schemes EY this year also initiated plans to provide a grant to support one student each year through their university career. In addition to the grant, the successful applicant would be able to undertake the Summer Internship Programme, along with any placements their degree course may require at our local EY office. The successful student should be studying an Accountancy related degree course.
Take up of places has already been swift but the scheme is not yet full and applications are still being welcomed. For more information students should contact Arianne Britto at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
