Learning

Your learning activities will align with the business area you join, focusing on professional capabilities and experiences that will help prepare you for the future. You will build knowledge and skills via participation in all aspects of our Summer Vacationer learning program and meaningful client projects.

Connectivity

Alongside formal mentoring and professional development, you’ll have opportunities to connect and share perspectives with First Nations leadership and employee groups, providing an invaluable voice on Deloitte’s First Nations strategy and business matters that impact First Nations communities.

Community

The program will provide students with meaningful opportunities to connect and give back to local Indigenous communities.

As part of this, you’ll work on a bespoke project component that contributes to First Nations cultural matters. You’ll connect with others across the Firm, including Senior Leaders, and members of the community whilst developing key skills in the art of storytelling and listening.

Our First Nations Program is right for you if :

• You are a penultimate year student (expecting to graduate in 2024)

Along with supplying your CV and documents relating to your university degree, our team may ask that you support your application with a confirmation of heritage/eligibility at a later stage of the selection process - our team will be in touch to advise further on this.

Our online assessment is an immersive, client-focussed set of virtual activities that are intended to give you a taste of what it may be like to work with us, along with helping us learn more about you. And following the assessment, you’ll receive a bespoke feedback report about your individual strengths and abilities. This isn’t the outcome of your assessment, but it will provide you with valuable advice on developing your skills and making the most of your potential.

Hear from Maddie on our team’s tips for completing the online assessment.

You'll receive a call or email from our team advising if you're successful in progressing to our Assessment Day. Depending on your location, the interview may be hosted in-person or conducted virtually.

Expect to join us for a morning or afternoon where you’ll participate in several activities with other students. Your Assessment Day experience with us will vary depending on the role and business area you could be joining; but expect information sessions and networking opportunities, to a group case study exercise and a 1:1 interview with a leader from our business.

Along with all stages of the process, our team will share details with you ahead of time to help you prepare.

Hear from Maddie on the STAR interviewing technique.
