People

Deloitte is focused on providing world-class learning and development (L&D) experiences to equip our people to meet Deloitte clients’ needs today—and to help build the workforce of the future. We leverage innovative, immersive L&D experiences to deepen human capabilities, growing curiosity and agility, and accelerating early-hire readiness.

Our technology-based skill development focuses on GenAI, Agentic AI, cloud, cybersecurity, and sustainability, to name a few, with training grounded in the responsible use of AI. Through technical certifications, hack-a-thons, and leading-edge academies, we are significantly investing in the capabilities required for emerging skillsets (e.g., Forward Deployed Engineers). As part of our commitment to continuing to innovate, we have enabled a robust ecosystem of AI tools across Deloitte’s global network to drive productivity transformation, engineering acceleration, and enterprise automation, and have offered Deloitte professionals the ability to participate in AI upskilling.

At the same time, through the Enduring Human Capabilities curriculum we seek to strengthen the core capabilities that power our ability to evolve and transform both Deloitte and our people. During the past year, we refreshed the global Deloitte Leader Framework, clarifying and modernizing the leadership capabilities and personal attributes we consider the building blocks of successful leaders in today’s complex environment.

Deloitte University (DU) is the cornerstone of our commitment to leadership development. DU offers an immersive environment designed to provide transformational L&D experiences for Deloitte people throughout their careers, including leadership development, career milestones, and signature learning programs. In addition, DU experiences give our people the opportunity to create and strengthen the connections that are so important to making an impact in a global network serving multinational clients. DU also welcomes Deloitte clients for customized experiences. During the past year, more than 244,000 people participated in programs at DU.

From the opening of the first DU in Westlake, Texas in 2011, DU has shown us the importance of being together for the moments that matter. Since then, we have launched additional facilities in Hyderabad, Mexico City, Singapore, Toronto, Paris, and Beijing. In 2026, we completed a significant expansion of our original Westlake facility, adding approximately 600,000 square feet of campus, including learning, collaboration, and innovation spaces for Deloitte people and clients.

This year, we continued to bring together our people from around the world to learn about topics important to Deloitte clients. We held Deloitte’s third annual Global AI Week, designed to help deepen our people’s AI knowledge and enable them to apply AI with confidence in their work. It also focused on the application of Deloitte’s ethical technology guiding principles to help guide our people’s choices, prompting them to consider both the ethical implications of their technology-related activities and how their actions could affect end users and society. In parallel, the Deloitte AI Institute™ hosted the first Global AI Fest for Deloitte clients and our broader ecosystem. Together, these programs featured more than 50 in-person and virtual learning events coordinated across our global network, encompassing bite-sized “lightning AI talks,” hands-on demos of practical AI applications, and insightful conversations that spanned industries and time zones.

To mark Earth Month, we shared client stories, training, and leadership perspectives with a focus on sustainable and resilient supply chains, infrastructure, the energy transition, and non-financial disclosures. As part of a network-wide town hall, Deloitte Sustainability leaders showcased how Deloitte firms are helping clients advance their efforts to embed sustainability at the heart of the business.
