Over 1,400 graduates and apprentices set to kick off their careers at Deloitte

3 September 2024

Deloitte will welcome approximately 1,200 new people to its award-winning graduate, BrightStart apprenticeship and industrial placement programmes this week, for a blended in-person and virtual induction in over 20 locations across the UK*. A further 200 will join in December 2024.

The firm’s graduate programme ranked number four in the latest Times Top 100 Graduate Employer and Deloitte was ranked in this year’s Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers list.

During their first week, the new joiners will take part in an induction programme, which will include an introduction to the firm’s purpose, shared values, sustainability and climate goals; as well as the importance of diversity and inclusion. There will also be opportunities to network with fellow new starters and meet early careers alumni before immersing themselves in their business area.

Jackie Henry, managing partner for people and purpose at Deloitte, said: “At Deloitte we’re always very proud of the graduates, apprentices and those who have arrived at the firm on a work placement – the positive impact they have can’t be understated, bringing fresh approaches and new ideas to make a real impact for our clients and our firm.

“As a Deloitte graduate myself, I know that from day one, they will have the chance to build on the skills they need to succeed in an ever-changing world of work. I look forward to speaking to as many as I can at the induction event as we welcome the next generation into our workplace.”

Deloitte’s early careers programmes offer technical training opportunities and professional qualifications. In July, the firm hosted its second Early Careers Week, a week of virtual events dedicated to the professional development of those on the graduate programme, as well as its BrightStart apprentices and work placement students.  

The week included a series of special guest speakers including broadcaster and journalist Louis Theroux, and physician, wellness expert and podcast host Dr Rangan Chatterjee, presenting on the topics of communication, and wellbeing both inside and outside of work.
