Deloitte recognises that individuals from diverse groups, and particularly those from lower socio-economic backgrounds, are under-represented in the Professional Services sector.
To address the disproportionate challenges they face, Deloitte is delighted to be running this initiative for a second year to give these students the chance to gain new skills, knowledge, and most importantly, the confidence to realise their potential and start a successful career in the professional services sector and beyond.
What is Discover Your Deloitte?
Discover Your Deloitte is an intensive coaching programme designed to:
- Debunk and demystify industry stereotypes and jargon, giving you the knowledge and skills needed to break industry barriers
- Provide access to a safe space for you to ask any questions that you might not want to ask Deloitte directly - there are no silly questions
- Helping you to feel more confident stepping into the professional services world for the first time
