Are you a proactive and ambitious first‑year university student looking to gain insight into the dynamic world of accountancy and professional services? The Spring Insight Programme is a one‑day, in‑person experience designed to support and inspire you to find your future within professional and financial services and take the first step towards your career with Forvis Mazars.

“I found the programme extremely useful hearing from professionals on how to overcome imposter syndrome which especially for students coming from diverse socio‑economic backgrounds helping us to recognise that potential doesn't stem from people’s backgrounds.”

This insight programme will take place on 9 April from 10:00‑15:00 in our Edinburgh office. Lunch will be provided and travel expenses up to £50 reimbursed. We encourage you to apply if the programme is within a reasonable commuting distance.
