The programme

The programme is called Edge, because it is cutting-edge. We offer you the means to get ahead and become an international deals expert with a broad skillset and good network. The programme challenges you and puts a lot of pressure on you, but the result ensures that you will be ready for the next step in your career. The programme lasts two years and officially starts with an International Deals Foundation event, where you will meet 400 other starters and Deals colleagues from PwC EMEA.

We would like to see you grow into an international deals expert. Edge offers you a helicopter view of the deals practice, relevant training, mentors and a 'buddy' network. The Edge programme offers the possibility to choose between the Rotations Track and the Expert Track. 

Your Edge programme journey

Rotations are essential to the Rotations Track within the Edge program. This track offers the opportunity to gain experience in the various competence groups within deals. The ideal opportunity to develop a broad set of skills.

During one and a half year you will gain experience in three Rotations within different departments. In principle, the fourth Rotation is also the competence group that will be your final specialisation area. When completing the track you will have gained knowledge within the entire Deals spectrum and specialised in the competence area that suits you best. Please find an overview of the different competence groups within the Edge Deals Traineeship below.

Expert Track

The Expert Track offers the opportunity to specialize directly in one area of ​​expertise within the Deals spectrum.
