Career day provides insight into tax jobs in London

Young people were able to learn what it takes to get tax jobs in London, as well as gather other information on finance jobs in the city, at a recent event held in the capital.

Careers in the City, held at the Cass Business School and organised by the Inspiring Futures Foundation, allowed school children to hear what employees had to say about their companies and finance jobs.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) and Lloyds of London were two of the finance firms present at the event, reports Online Recruitment.

Indeed, PwC provides tax jobs in London, as do the other members of the so-called accountancy big four - Deloitte, Ernst & Young and KPMG.

Richard Scott Clark, partnership manager from the Inspiring Futures Foundation, said: "Educating young people about what they need to succeed in their chosen profession is beneficial not only to them but also to business."

He added that companies need to play an active role in equipping young people with the skills needed to succeed in the workplace.
