A graduate trainee and an apprentice would probably be doing the same thing. Remuneration may be different though. An apprentice would be offered Associate 2 position after a year if he/she performs well , A trainee would also be moved to A2 after a year. Basically at the end of the day ,it would even out.

goodguy4sure:
I asked becos I learnt for successful applicants after one year of trainee will get Associate Level 1 while Apprenticeship will get Associate level 2. And the remuneration during the 1 year period for Apprenticeship will be higher than Trainee.

just needed someone with direct inform.

Best Regards

Maybe it's like entering the university through UTME versus through a Pre-degree program. Just maybe.

TheRealAdonye:
Graduate trainees would start as Associate 1 and can be either in Advisory or Audit/ Tax depending on what you applied for and you should be moved to the next level after a period.
The Apprenticeship program would also enable you be moved to Associate 2 but I believe unlike the Graduate trainees, it is not assured. It depends greatly on performance.

This doesn't mean that the trainees don't have to perform but to be retained, the apprentices need to be on top of their game.

Also, the apprenticeship program is only for TAX.

The last, but definitely not the least.

I didn't want to post this because of personal reasons but on a second thought I think I owe it to posterity to do this because I gained a lot from 2016, 2017 threads and other nairaland threads that I've been following.
I had my pwc interview on friday but before I go into details let me talk about my experience so far. For OPQ, consistency is all they want. Even if u are choosing all the "negative" traits, just be consistent with them. Or better still visit 2017 thread from page 50-65, LaRochelle and her gang laid down some pretty nice traits they were consistent with. You can stick to those traits and be consistent with them.
Back to my interview, my team's topic was Tourism and it's importance to Nigerian economy. For the other team that did on the same day, their topic was Child labor and ways to eradicate it. It's best if your team can choose it's presenter, time keeper, coordinator etc before you guys enter the room as this will save time for your team and everyone should try and contribute as the panelists will be seated on the same table with you guys and will be writing something (scoring you guys) as you people are deliberating on the topic. Contributions is more important than being time keeper or coordinator.
My one on one interview proper: [/b]I was really drilled. [b]No amount of preparation would have prepared me enough for what I went through on friday. I spent closed to an hour and I was asked more than 20 questions. Being truthful is the way forward or if u can construct your response beforehand, good for you. But one thing I learnt from the interview is that you can not prepare enough and you can't plan for every possible situation based questions.
The questions I was asked is as follows:
If given a 2nd chance at the group presentation what will I do differently
Tell us about yourself
Tell us about a time you showcased a skill i mentioned in the "tell us about yourself response"
What do you know about pwc
What do you know about pwc Nigeria
Tell us about a time you showcased your communication skills
How do you stay updated with current news
Tell us about a time you had a conflict with people in my previous place of work
Don't I think I took the conflict too far?
Tell us about about time you learnt something about a new environment
Tell us about a time you interacted with people outside your immediate circle (people you are not familiar with), and your contribution to the interaction
Tell us a time you convinced someone to accept my own idea
Do I know what services pwc offer
Do I know what auditors do
What's your career goal
Do I think engineering has prepared me to be an auditor
Which department did you apply to
Why did you apply to audit
The department my favourite pwc partner works in (because I mentioned a partner as my favourite in one of our discussions)
Do u have a mentor, if yes what impact has he made to your career choice
Tell us about a recent financial news and it's effect on the economy
I was finally asked to ask them a question, which I did
There are still some that I cannot remember and only the first 6 questions are in the order that I was asked

N/B: Please go with your credentials if you can, because some of us were asked for them as they were having problems finding our credentials

The panelists were really nice. I was given a bottle of water and I drank more than half of it. I was even asked to go with the rest

In in all, do your best and hope for the best
