PwC launch Psychometric e-learn as follow up to Interview e-learn


PwC launch Psychometric e-learn as follow up to Interview e-learn

Andrew Bargery Campus & Schools Engagement Leader at PwCTop Contributor

Building on the success of our interview e-learn launched last spring, our latest e-learn is designed to help prepare students for psychometric tests. This ranges from what they are and how they’re used, through to tips on how they can prepare themselves for taking psychometric tests, and access to practice questions so that students get practical experience and become more familiar with some of the tests that employers use.

The e-learn is another step in reinforcing our position as an employer who helps students develop their employability skills by providing access to free tools that will give students practical support in their pursuit of a job with us or another employer, regardless of the sector.

Please take a look at the website below and I would value all feedback and comments

The competition will ask teams of two people to review a business case study, and to make innovative recommendations to solve the challenges involved.

The competition is called “Super Techies”, but is open to teams with a mixture of business and technical backgrounds, which we’d like to encourage.
 
The teams will be asked to submit a short (three slides) presentation to outline their solution, and then the best of the teams will be invited to heats which will be judged by Capgemini.

The successful teams from the heats across the country, plus from our online competition will be invited to a UK Final in our London offices which will take place early in 2015.

One Competition. One Business Problem. Your Solution.

Super Techies UK 2015 gives you the chance to:

- Add to your CV to differentiate yourselves in a tough graduate marketplace.

- Win the title of UK Super Techies Champion 2015 and a prize of £2,500.


The Capgemini Super Techies Show has run out of Capgemini India for the last three years, historically being open to teams of experienced professionals, whom it asks to solve complex business challenges using innovation.


In 2015, Capgemini UK is bringing the competition to University students in the UK, asking teams of two people to review a technology-related business case study and to make recommendations in a 3-slide presentation.

The teams with the best presentations will get the chance present it back to a panel of Capgemini experts in a heat stage of the competition held in Manchester in the lead up to Christmas, and the winners of each heat will then get the opportunity to compete for the Super Techies 2015 title in Capgemini UK’s Holborn office in February next year.

The competition is such a unique opportunity for you to enhance your CV, get exposure to a large multinational company within this industry, as well as represent your University and meet new people.

FEELING HOMESICK? or THINKING OF LEAVING? - WORKSHOP - MON 27TH OCT 3 - 4.30pm Room 1.14



Feeling Homesick or Thinking of Leaving Workshop? 

Monday 27th October   
3pm - 4.30pm

Room 1.14
Business School and Student Hub
 

Counselling, Health and Wellbeing Service

Starting university can be an emotional time, as you will be leaving things, people and places that are familiar to you.  The first few weeks at university can be exciting and can be a time when you feel isolated and alone.  

It is important to know that to feel homesick is not about being weak or childish. 
It is important however that you do not sit in your room feeling lost and there are things you could do to feel better.

There is a workshop on Monday 27th October arranged by the Counselling, Health and Wellbeing service to help you deal with homesickness and look at factors you need to consider if you are thinking of leaving university. Why not come along and meet other students who are feeling similar to yourself.

Please contact Counselling, Health and Wellbeing Service on   0161 247 3493
for the details and put your name down for this workshop.
