Skills development for growth
The focus of PwC’s Business School is to:
- enhance the skills of our people
- provide relevant development offerings to our clients
- contribute to our profession, and
- help uplift communities.
Tailor-made solutions for our stakeholders
In a climate of constant change, getting the best from yourself and others at every level of an organisation is pivotal to achieving a sustainable competitive advantage.
Strategies, processes and technology alone can’t deliver results. Staying ahead of the pack requires people with the right skills.
Quick, decisive responses to changing conditions have become crucial for organisations and individuals who want to thrive and turn challenges into opportunities.
We seek to open minds through an engaging range of learning and knowledge-sharing experiences to equip people with the knowledge, skills and values required for professional, business and personal success.
We are not a traditional learning institution. Due to our deep experience within our industry and our knowledge of our clients and the industries in which they operate, we are subject matter experts in a variety of areas such as Regulatory issues, Corporate Governance, Accounting, Auditing, Tax and industry specific issues and this knowledge base keeps on growing.
PwC‘s Business School is therefore focused on delivering relevant learning and development solutions based on this knowledge.

Benefits and return on your investment
East Africa CEOs are focused on talent, and how to maintain that talent. Scoring above their global counterparts, the East Africa CEOs have plans to invest heavily in talent.
Over the past years of our CEO Survey in East Africa, respondents have consistently cited ‘creating and fostering a skilled workforce’, as one of the top three areas where they plan to increase investment. They have also identified ‘creating and fostering a skilled workforce’ as one of government’s top priority areas. Both the public and the private sectors recognise that they have roles to play and that their countries will benefit. (16th annual global CEO Survey, PwC 2013).
