Career Start Programme: Take off with an employer that supports your ambitions

Are you a recent graduate or student who is ready to make a genuine impact in the real world? Join one of our graduate programmes and let us introduce you to the world of audit, risk advisory, tax, consulting, or financial advisory services. We’re looking for your ideas, unique perspectives and personal strengths. With the help of our many experts, you will quickly grow and develop, even beyond your job. We want you to be your best, true to your purpose, and passionate about what you do – so we can achieve great things together. Learn more about how to launch your career with us today.

Regardless of their background and the direction their career will take them, our juniors share several characteristics: flexibility, curiosity and commitment, to name a few. From day one, we provide our graduate hires and trainees with every opportunity to gain experience and take on responsibility. You’ll get the chance to hit the ground running by working in international, interdisciplinary teams and developing solutions for the most complex challenges our clients send our way. You’ll have the opportunity to develop your knowledge and skillsets further with every project. And if you join Deloitte, you won’t have to do this on your own – you can always rely on guidance and support from our mentors.

We know that no career path is the same and that your goals can change over time, which is why we offer you opportunities to network and work with different business disciplines throughout Switzerland in the Deloitte network. The flexibility we expect from you is the same flexibility you can expect of us – so you can grow exactly the way you want.

Learn while you grow

Our Career Start Programme gives you the chance to dive straight into the business world, use your knowledge and skills, and become part of a unique culture. You will learn how to lead at every level and grow your network and skills.

Each of our juniors is assigned a buddy and a coach from day one to support them in all their concerns – from getting to know the company to making crucial career decisions:

  • Your buddy is the person who serves as your first point of contact for all your questions and concerns. They help you find your way around the company, get to know your team and launch into your everyday work.
  • Your coach will help you with everything concerning your career. They’re there for you if you are uncertain or unclear about your career path and will give you advice when it comes to making career decisions. Your coach will give you feedback and help you steer your career in a direction where you can be successful and fulfilled.
“Build your network of cool people and grow your skills.”

Attending the YOUNext Mentoring Programme felt like coming home. The people I work with are such a gift. I had a fantastic mentor, who helped me launch my career. My problem-solving mind-set, teamwork and project management skills as well as my industry knowledge have proven very important during all of my time at Deloitte. I have witnessed first-hand how the value we add, the way we look at problems with a different eye, and through the lens of our combined experience change outcomes for our clients beyond what I could have imagined. Knowing that we play a vital part in the bigger picture where we‘re making a real difference for clients excites me the most.
