PwC's Hackschool program educates students in Digital strategy & Transformation, Data, Cloud & AI and Cyber transformation. The program serves as a catalyst for collaboration among students from diverse educational backgrounds, which has been notably significant for Jonathan Daniel Frystyk, who has been part of the program.
“It has been a tremendous learning experience for me to collaborate actively with people across different educational backgrounds. I discovered what I'm good at and how I can use my strengths to foster better teamwork,” Jonathan explains
From Hackschool to a role as a bridge-builder between tech and business
Jonathan Daniel Frystyk is employed in PwC's Technology & Transformation department, where he acts as a link between IT and business.
He first heard about Hackschool through a university connection working at PwC. “I looked into it and really liked the structure—especially that we got to hear from each department in the technology practice and that there was a chance to land a job afterward,” he recalls. “I expected to learn about client cases and how PwC works with them, and I was also excited to network with like-minded students and PwC professionals.”
What surprised him most was the atmosphere. “It was so well structured, and the speakers were not only technically sharp but also incredibly friendly and outgoing. That combination really stood out to me,” he says. “I also learned a lot about cybersecurity—concepts like IAM, PAM, and GDPR were broken down in a way that made sense, even for someone without prior experience.”
The experience gave him a clear sense of where he could see himself professionally. “Seeing how the speakers presented and how relaxed yet competent the environment was—that made me feel like I could really thrive in a place like PwC.”
He now encourages others to take part. “I’d definitely recommend Hackschool. You gain unique insights into how the technology transformation practice works, get exposed to real client cases, and meet peers who are just as curious as you. It’s a great way to build both knowledge and your network.”
