At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team.

How will I develop?

• We don’t just keep humans at the heart of our client work, we do this internally too. You will have access to learning and development across consulting skills, ways of working, tools, and methodologies – delivered through a combination of on-the-job experience, training and team activities.   

As a Summer Vacation Scheme Student, you can expect to:

• Be supported from your first day by our dedicated Technology & Transformation Summer Vacation Scheme team, who organise fun activities to help you get to know your fellow SVS students.
