PwC is spending $12 billion on a new plan to hire 100,000 people over the next five years.
"The New Equation" plan, announced on Tuesday, is set to pump money into recruitment, training, and technology at the firm, and focus PwC on giving clients more environmental, social, and governance advice, the company said. The professional services firm said it wanted to grow its 284,000-person global workforce by more than a third between 2021 and 2026.
PwC US is committing $125 million to prepare 25,000 Black and Latinx students for business careers as part of the plan, Tim Ryan, PwC's US chairman and senior partner, said in a LinkedIn blog post on Tuesday.
PwC plans to hire 10,000 of these students over the next five years, he said.
"We're going to get them ready for the workforce, to create internships, and training opportunities," Ryan told Fast Company on Tuesday.
"Ten thousand will come to us, which is important, but we will be equally proud of the [other] 15,000 we're going to help because that then gets to solving the broader societal problem."
PwC currently has around 55,000 US employees and hires up to 8,000 Americans a year, the Financial Times reported.
The infrastructure plan also includes a $3 billion drive to double its business in the Asia-Pacific region, PwC said.

BLM helped Democrats win an election. The business world is adapting to political environment.
They can recognize a gravy train when they see one. We hired PwC for a software implementation. They “backed up the school is” with H1Bs, only two of which were worth their airfare. Something tells me this new plan will be even worse. I wonder if their plan includes senior citizens.
They are way more than that. Software implementations, general business consulting, no sweat to claim expertise in the SJ field.
PwC = PricewaterhouseCoopers
It appears shareholders no longer matter.
““Latinx” - term of the woke whites for Latinos.”
Now THAT is white privilege.
Since PwC is going to train and employee people based upon their color and not their capacity, I have sent a note to my accountant to discontinue any working relationship with them and their partners. I want the best working for me and not a group of second stringers just hoping to get by with the lesser of excelling people by using a employing practice not based upon getting the best they can. Business doesn’t believe in diversity and the people that excel in business don’t care about it.

I and all my friends and acquaintances find the term “Latinx” condescending and racist.
What is “ESG”?
RE: What is “ESG”?
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG).
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are a set of standards for a company’s operations that socially conscious investors use to screen potential investments. Environmental criteria consider how a company performs as a steward of nature. Social criteria examine how it manages relationships with employees, suppliers, customers, and the communities where it operates. Governance deals with a company’s leadership, executive pay, audits, internal controls, and shareholder rights.
What the hell is PWC??
I have done accounting since I was 17 & I am now 81.
I NEVER saw a black or Hispanic that did any accounting at all.
Worked for major corps, also.
