Developing through learning at PwC’s Academy
Our Academy recognises that instructor-led training is a passive way to educate and that to disrupt the way our workforce works, we must educate using alternative methodologies. The Hub facilitates a unique learning experience for a wide variety of people, ranging from students seeking a qualification, to startups, to C-suite clients and corporates, all of whom choose our Academy to meet PwC’s specialists and trainers, all experts in their respective fields. Clients reach out to our Academy experts to share their best practices and experiences and to avail themselves of an Academy which today offers blended learning solutions tailored for their specific needs in a wide spectrum of areas.
Malta prides itself of a skilled workforce with a good level of education across a variety of disciplines, yet we all acknowledge that we cannot stay still. We need to keep up with an ever-changing economy and dynamic, fast-paced industries in a digitally enabled era. The Academy aims to respond to these skills gaps by offering learning solutions tailored for clients’ needs in areas of business and finance, skills development, information technology as well as business innovation and creative thinking processes.
