Career Sponsorship
A key to success
Much more than mentorship, sponsorship is a critical key to success. Those who reach the top can almost always point to someone else — a sponsor — who took a vested interest in them along the way and advocated on their behalf. Deloitte has a strong mentoring culture, but research shows that some individuals are less likely to take advantage of informal networks and would benefit from a structured program. So we offer a variety of sponsorship and coaching opportunities where the sponsors and coaches are held accountable for the success of the professionals assigned to them.
Understanding what it takes to reach the next level is only half of the equation — successful advancement takes active preparation as well. Sponsors and coaches help our rising leaders navigate the pathways of Deloitte — and of their own careers. As advocates, they help our professionals develop leadership skills, build effective networks, and draw the right assignments to accelerate their careers.
