About the program:
D-180 is a digital mentoring program integral to Deloitte’s community response efforts to COVID-19. The program targets university graduates in their first few years in the workforce as well as high school, college students across the Middle East and Cyprus to provide them with mentoring and real work exposure to Deloitte volunteer professionals.
