What is the Advanced Degree Veterans’ Forum agenda?
The Advanced Degree Veterans’ Forum agenda will feature experiential learning, working sessions, and networking with senior Deloitte professionals who are also Veterans.

How is the forum different than Deloitte’s CORE program?
The Advanced Degree Veterans’ Forum is targeted at Veterans who are currently enrolled in their first year at a full-time graduate program with a specific interest in consulting, while CORE is open to active/transitioning service members pursuing any industry.

Deloitte's commitment to Veterans and inclusion
At Deloitte, we foster an inclusive culture where all leaders thrive, and we’re proud to support armed forces members, Veterans, and their families. Deloitte recognizes that there are distinct stages in the transition from active-duty service to Veteran status, and a holistic approach is helpful for moving the needle on key Veterans’ issues. As such, we employ an integrated approach to military and Veterans' support, built on a platform of three key pillars: physical health and recovery, employment, and education. The transition to civilian life is not a linear process, so these separate pillars focus on the singular objective of building hope and confidence, which, in turn, can provide a springboard to propel our Veterans to the next step in their own unique journeys.
Rich, varied experiences can help shape the quality of service to clients. Transitioning armed forces members and Veterans bring valuable skills, knowledge, experience, and insights that further enrich the diversity of teams at Deloitte and other organizations.
