Bachelor's degree + CFA = Skills of the Future

Learning has taken on a new meaning for Gen-Z. The market is booming and so is the demand for professionals with specialised skills. While an undergraduate degree continues to be critical to kick-start one’s career, professional qualifications are becoming the key differentiator to stand out from the crowd. 

One such success story is Joan Fhaili, Alumni at American University of Sharjah(AUS), who pursued the CFA qualification with the Academy.  

“Upskilling is vital in today’s world due to the growing digital technologies and innovation. It gives graduates an opportunity to boost our skillset and accelerate our career journey. The collaboration between PwC’s Academy and AUS gave me the opportunity to do just that. 

The CFA qualification is a very important and credible certification to earn, especially in the region. As an Economic Major, I felt that the CFA qualification went hand-in-hand with my degree. It helped me gain broad knowledge and develop specialised skills that I can apply to my daily work. Moreover, it gave me an advantage over other candidates and helped accelerate my career journey.

I chose the Academy as several of my friends were studying with them and shared great feedback. My experience just reinforced their opinions. It’s been an amazing journey with them. The trainers constantly support the students and help break down the information required to pass the exam.  They patiently  help you grasp new concepts and understand the curriculum. I would definitely recommend others take on this chance to upskill too! They won’t regret it.”
