Only some tracksGraduate scheme (Audit and Assurance, Deals, Tax Services, Strategy, Legal Services)

The catch: Advisory/Consulting and Technology & AI absence from the sponsored list is an inference from omission, not an explicit exclusion statement; PwC says eligibility is confirmed in the job description for each role, so it can vary by vacancy and year. Internships, Flying Start and all Entry Level apprenticeship routes are excluded from sponsorship regardless of track.
