Accountancy firm wins graduate prizes - graduate jobs

Graduates have given accountancy firm PricewaterhouseCoopers the top honour in three of the categories at the National Graduate Recruitment Awards.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) was named as the most popular company for accountancy jobs, for its development of employability skills and for offering the best student marketing campaign.

"We're delighted students have voted us the top graduate employer because we work hard to provide a very distinctive, challenging and rewarding programme and get out on campus to get them involved early on," said Sonja Stockton, head of recruitment at PwC.

"This year's campaign is no different and is proving so successful because in a tough economic environment for graduates we're continuing to provide great opportunities and help them personally make the most of the skills they have in their applications for work."

The Association of Graduate Recruiters named PwC as one firm who has continued to recruit university-leavers this years.
