Professional services firm PwC is the latest in a line of employers to launch a returnship programme to help people back into work after an extended break.

The 12-week scheme ‘Back to Business’ is open to all applicants, however, it is predominately aimed at women wishing to return to work.

Under the PwC scheme, participants will receive a week-long induction with training, which will cover both the firm’s processes and procedures, including IT and softer skills such as personal brand, resilience, and networking. People on the programme will also have the opportunity to work on client-facing projects that draw on their experience and existing knowledge.

I’ve had the privilege of being an at-home dad for over eight years. It's a privilege because my wife and I are financially stable enough for me to work without a paycheck. It’s a privilege because I’ve been able to battle through my own internal conflicts, society's gender stereotypes, certain expectations held by family and friends, and the feelings of isolation most at-home parents experience from time to time.
