Accountancy opportunities with Ernst and Young, from September

Please see the attached message received from Ernst and Young Accountancy Firm today:

School Leaver vacancies in your local EY office
If you have any Year 13 students still uncertain about whether university is the right path for them to take after their A-Levels then why not encourage them to consider the EY School Leaver?  Our five-year straight to work programme will give them the chance to develop their business skills and gain valuable experience of working in the real world.  They will receive a salary from their very first day and work towards a professional qualification that will benefit them for the rest of their life.  If they are looking to stand out from the crowd, then encourage them to find out more online, and apply for one of the vacancies in your local EY office.  Vacancies are still available for the 2013 intake due to commence on Sept 30.
