2025 Global Impact Report
New technologies continue to accelerate changes in the global economy, delivering a wealth of educational content and new learning opportunities. However, there is also a risk that some people may be left behind due to lack of access, exacerbating the educational and skills gaps that affect communities around the world. Deloitte is working to advance progress on this pressing challenge facing our global society.
Through the services Deloitte practitioners provide, our investments, and our initiatives focused on creating educational and skills-building opportunities, we are helping to positively impact our local communities. Over the past year, we have continued to provide our know-how and resources as part of Deloitte’s worldwide commitment to invest more than US$3 billion over 10 years (FY2023-FY2032) in initiatives to help strengthen our local communities.

Empowering better futures through education and job skills
In 2025, we achieved Deloitte’s WorldClass ambition to positively impact the lives of 100 million people by 2030—five years ahead of schedule. Deloitte and our people have worked with Deloitte clients, educational organizations, innovators, and nonprofits to bring this ambition to life through thousands of programs around the world. By coming together, we have been able to help scale opportunities, accelerate progress, deepen the impact of organizations Deloitte has worked with, and create better futures for 101 million individuals.
Deloitte established WorldClass in 2017 as a global initiative to expand on the many existing and successful local programs across our network aligned to education, skills development, and enabling access to learning opportunities. With Deloitte donating funds, and our people volunteering their time and abilities, our efforts have provided support to millions of students, teachers, and education leaders worldwide. For example, through the Deloitte China Children Care Program, Deloitte China volunteers have provided online mentoring and support to primary school students in rural communities, helping to bridge the opportunity gap between urban and rural areas. Deloitte US has collaborated with Braven to empower young people with the skills, networks, confidence, and experiences needed to transition from college to first jobs.
Over the years, WorldClass has continued to build on that foundational work to help create pathways for individuals to fulfill their personal and professional aspirations. And while our WorldClass ambition has been marked by the scale of our 100 million person goal, it’s the lifechanging impact on individuals that has inspired this work. For example, by supporting the PanAfrican Robotics Competition through pro bono consulting services, Deloitte Africa has helped young people like Marème from Senegal to cultivate the science, technology, engineering, and math skills vital to innovation. And alongside Udayan Care, Deloitte India has offered young women like Kajal scholarships, career guidance, and mentoring—which in Kajal’s case enabled her to attend college and pursue a career.

While Deloitte has achieved our WorldClass ambition, our work to advance educational opportunities continues as part of Deloitte’s worldwide commitment to invest more than US$3 billion over 10 years (FY2023-FY2032) in initiatives to help address systemic challenges in our local communities.
