Derby, Derby, United Kingdom Cooper Parry Full time
Thinking about your career after education but not sure where to start? Cooper Parry offer's a one-week work experience programme to give you a taste of working life in professional services.

Our programme aims to showcase working-life in accounting, gain practical experience and develop new skills, through supported training. You'll walk away with valuable experience which we hope will help to give you clarity on your future.

We believe it is vital to boost the links between education and business; supporting you to gain experience and aid the big decisions you will have started to think about. Don't worry, no one has all the answers. Which is why work experience is the best way to try out something new and get a feel for what might grow into a career.
