Model your future mentoring program
... with Deloitte Access Economics
Deloitte Access Economics is proud to be a leader in diversity and a champion of women in economics. The Model your future... with Deloitte Access Economics mentoring program has been created to inspire more women to pursue economics and policy as a profession and career path. If you are interested in economics and policy, this program could put you on the path to success.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO RECEIVING YOUR APPLICATION
We are inviting applications for our 2021 program from Monday 15 February. Applications to be considered for the program close at midnight on Friday 5 March.
To apply, please see the links below or visit the Deloitte Careers page.
The program
Model your future... with Deloitte Access Economics seeks to align young women studying or interested in economics and policy with young female professionals working in economic advisory and policy consulting at Deloitte Access Economics.
The team of highly qualified economists and policy professionals helps clients to see the big picture by combining economic forecasting, modelling, analysis and advisory services to enable organisations and governments to plan for the future.
The Model your future mentoring program will run for eight months, from March to October, aligning with the academic calendar and will involve at least four meetings between the mentor and mentee.
Deloitte Access Economics is united by a passion for economics and a belief that it can create a better future for all. We are a full service economic advisory practice operating across economic advisory, health economics and social policy, and macroeconomics.
What does this mean for you?
Ultimately, the program will support the unique goals and aspirations of each mentee. This may include:
- Expanding your interest in and understanding of economics and policy
- Navigating university decisions and opportunities in and out of the classroom
- Revealing how economics and the study of economics and policy can be applied in practice, including the importance of economic principles in achieving good policy
- Uncovering lessons on transitioning from university to the workplace and/or from undergraduate to further studies
- Beginning to develop your professional network
- Reflecting on career and academic ambitions, goals, or pathways
- Gaining exposure to Australia’s largest and leading economic advisory practice.
About our mentors
Our mentors are young female professionals with a passion for economics and policy. Many of them have Masters or Honours degrees in Economics, while others come from more diverse and specialised industry backgrounds such as public health, education and finance. These women are passionate about supporting others looking to enter the profession — particularly other young women.
Our goal will be to align our mentors' backgrounds with your interests and ambitions. But if you’re not sure what your goals are, then rest assured, one of our inspiring mentors will help you find them!
About the 2021 program
Applications for the 2021 program open on Monday 15 February.
To submit an application please click the link for your region, or search the program on Deloitte’s careers page.
We are evolving the program in 2021 as a result of some of the learnings from having delivered the Model your future program entirely online in 2020. This year, the program will be delivered in a hybrid format, leveraging the benefits of Deloitte Access Economics’ national practice and a greater breadth of presenters and content, while returning in-person components where possible. The shift to a national program structure has supported an extension of the program to Perth for this first time in 2021.

The program welcomes applicants in Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Sydney or Perth. We also welcome applicants who are studying in a regional area.Applicants must submit:
