Elevate program

A truly inclusive workplace means that everyone can be their authentic selves within a safe and respectful environment, enabling them to reach their fullest potential. Our Elevate program enables our commitment to creating an inclusive future. This program aims to support experienced professionals in Equity Seeking Groups (such as Black, Indigenous, People with Disabilities, and Neurodivergent communities) by creating pathways for growth and professional development.

Fostering an inclusive workplace means building a culture that focuses on abilities and skills. Elevate is one of the one of the many ways we strive to create opportunities and attract talented individuals from diverse backgrounds. 

Applications are currently closed, but we look forward to launching our next Elevate program soon!

To stay up to date on Elevate and other exciting opportunities, be sure to follow us on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook.

In the meantime, we encourage you to learn more about the program below and visit our careers page regularly to explore and apply for current openings. We look forward to meeting you!

What is the Elevate program?

The Elevate program offers a curated list of roles specifically for members of equity-seeking groups, allowing them to apply based on their skills and capabilities. By joining our talent community, candidates will receive notifications about future roles that align with their career goals and aspirations. Additionally, Deloitte’s talent and business teams provide enhanced support throughout the hiring process to ensure equitable outcomes for these candidates.

    • A person with a disability and neurodiversity: A person with a disability, as defined by the Government of Canada (any impairment, including a physical, mental, intellectual, cognitive, learning, communication, or sensory impairment—or a functional limitation—whether permanent, temporary, or episodic in nature, or evident or not, that, in interaction with a barrier, hinders a person’s full and equal participation in society)
    • An Indigenous person: Individuals that identify as either First Nations, Metis, and Inuit groups in Canada

How do I apply?

While the Elevate program aims to provide opportunities to specific equity-seeking groups, the hiring process is similar to our regular process when it comes to candidate application, screening, assessment, and final decisions. Here are a few general steps and tips to remember.

  • Once the jobs are posted online (LinkedIn, Deloitte career site) or through our various other partners and channels, you are welcome to review the job descriptions that align to your interests, skills, and experience and apply.
  • Reach out to your network for advice and suggestions on the best way to present yourself as a candidate that matches the role profile. Explore and research our website for more information on the role.
  • After initial screening, if your resume is shortlisted, you will be contacted by one of our recruiters for an HR interview, followed by further interviews and/or case studies depending on the successful completion through the stages.
  • Once all interviews and assessments are complete, the hiring manager will make a final decision, and you will be notified if you have been selected.
  • If you are not selected, we will keep your resume in our Talent Pool for future consideration.
