Discover how Kaitlyn Bunyamin navigated her career path through PwC's supportive environment. 


Embarking on a New Path


When Kaitlyn Bunyamin embarked on her university journey in 2018, the future seemed full of possibilities, yet unclear. The challenge of selecting a degree was daunting, and the pressure of aligning it with a career added further complexity. However, through PwC’s Trainee programme, Kaitlyn unlocked a path that harmonised with her aspirations and personality.

Discovering the Right Fit


High school wasn’t my calling. Despite academic achievements, I yearned for real-world experiences. The opportunity to work, learn, and earn simultaneously was transformative. It became clear that my dedication to leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills would be valuable immediately. 

My career advisor, recognising my passion for technology and creativity, encouraged me to apply for a position he had identified. With his support and my mother’s insights—an experienced PwC contractor—I felt confident that PwC was my perfect match. 

The programme’s goal is to align our trainees’ career interests with their university studies, offering practical experience from day one. For those still exploring their path, we provide diverse team experiences to test different roles and responsibilities—a journey many, like Kaitlyn, continue into our Graduate programme after completing their degrees.


Welcomed into the Community


Kaitlyn’s first day was about more than just mentorship; it was about joining a supportive community. At PwC, we ensure everyone feels at home through our Buddy system, which guides new starters in navigating our vibrant organisation. 

Reflecting on her first day, Kaitlyn noted, “I was paired with a team leader for regular catch-ups to discuss goals, interests, and challenges. Together, we celebrated achievements, analysed successes, and mapped out paths for continued growth.” 

Faced with initial uncertainties in client projects, Kaitlyn relied on her mentors, who provided a clear learning approach tailored to her needs. Encouraged to step out of her comfort zone, Kaitlyn rapidly gained confidence, supported by her cohort's camaraderie. This network of diverse backgrounds fostered a sense of mutual support through shared lunches, team events, and networking opportunities.


Empowered for Success


At PwC, support flows through every channel—from colleagues, mentors, and the broader community. Trainees receive constant encouragement to excel both professionally and academically. 

Kaitlyn was astonished by PwC’s commitment to a holistic work environment. “The company’s investment in its people is remarkable. From social events and volunteer opportunities to wellness programmes and cultural celebrations, PwC prioritises employee engagement and support. Training, mentorship, mental health resources, flexible work arrangements, and the ‘dress for your day’ policy exemplify this commitment.”
