Back for a second chat with the wonderful Faith Musembi, we take a deep dive into the statistics around diversity, access, and inclusion in Natural History filmmaking. With a lack of diverse crew and staff at so many levels, we spotlight some of the ways people are hoping to change things.
As we think about diversity, access, and inclusion, what opportunities is the Natural History filmmaking industry offering to filmmakers, crew, and talent from underrepresented nations? Especially those from countries where Natural History crews return endlessly to film. Producer Director Faith Musembi talks about her journey from Kenya to Bristol and back again, and the sliding doors moments pivotal to her career.
Choosing to pursue a master's degree in Wildlife Filmmaking is a big undertaking both financially and in terms of time. Current Student and incredible photographer Leanna Fernandez gives us the low down on the course and the scholarships and funding opportunities available for both UK and International students who might think it is financially out of reach.
Not all paths into Natural History Television are linear. Researcher Aishah Masood discusses how she secured work experience within the industry and worked to get that first entry-level role.
Cathy Baxter, Head of Early Careers, joins our hosts Scott and Charlotte in the studio to discuss the removal of the 2.1 entry requirement from our graduate roles.
Cathy talks us through the reasoning behind the removal of the 2.1, including how we’re levelling the playing field for students and how this change will benefit the firm. She also discusses her own career journey at PwC and gives some top tips for applicants looking to join PwC.
To kick- off Season 3, Lucy Stapleton, Head of Deals spoke to Scott and Charlotte on how to master a successful career in Deals (Lead Advisory, Value Creation & Realisation, Transactions, Restructuring & Forensics).
Lucy discusses her inspiring journey; from starting her career in audit, relocating to PwC New York, to becoming the Head of Deals at the firm whilst raising a family of four. She also shares how passionate she feels about making workplaces more inclusive for everyone.
To wrap up season 2, we are joined by PwC’s Technology Impact leader, Rob McCargow. Rob started out in recruitment and, after transitioning his career into technology, he led PwC’s Artificial Intelligence Centre of Excellence. He is now recognised as one of the most influential people in UK tech.
How can we inspire and support ex armed forces personnel in their transition to a career in professional services? In this special episode, we spoke to Britain's first female fighter jet pilot, and now leader of PwC’s Center of Transformative Leadership, Jo Salter. Jo shares insights into her incredible journey in the Royal Air Force, how she came to join PwC, and her advice to anyone looking to join the world of professional services.

It's a new academic year... new energy... new possibilities... and a great time to talk about what you could be doing this academic year to positively move things forward in your career development. And that's exactly what this episode focuses on today: 8 ways to improve your career prospects this academic year.
Whether you are new to uni... end of high school... a new graduate - lots here is applicable to you. One thing to remember however is that this isn't designed to be a list to overwhelm you. It's meant to do the opposite, so it's not a case of doing all of the things at the same time (some are quite contradictory actually so that would be tricky!)
Take one or two of the action points and apply it.
We move.

Have you ever considered when is the best time to focus on your career (it's development, prospects and possibilities)? Now... I'd say the answer is now ... and there's good reason for this.
"CAREER (according to the UK Career Development Institute) describes our journey through life, learning and work. We need actively to develop our careers to make the best of them. This process of career development takes skill as well as knowledge and the right attitude. Individuals need to work on career development skills throughout their lives."
With that definition, can you see why right now is a great time to focus on your career?

Whether you are entering sixth form, university, a year in industry, your first job after graduation or beyond - you'll recognise the importance of now when it comes to your career journey. Enjoy!

What are you intending to do after you finish school and / or what were the options you considered?
In the past few years, in the UK, there have been an increasing number of options about what young people can do after school... beyond the traditional full time university route.
In this conversation with Anna Morrison from Amazing Apprenticeships and Conor Cotton from Not Going to Uni - we are reminded about exciting alternatives to full time university.
Thinking about an apprenticeship? Degree apprenticeship? Gap year? Wondering if this is a good option for you?
... and if you are concerned about how your parents would feel about you taking an alternative route to the traditional university one - that topic is not only addressed in this episode but in summer 2021, Anna and Conor are launching a podcast called "The Parent Perspective" so look out for that too.
