Learning and development

Your learning journey

At Deloitte, we are placed in an exciting, dynamic and action-oriented environment where continuous learning is a key accelerator for personal and professional growth. Learning is driven by business requirements, career development goals and personal interests, and it is not limited to classrooms or online courses. Learning happens every day in your work and in conversations with clients and colleagues – it is an integral part of our working environment. If we are mindful of these learning opportunities and take active steps to apply and reflect on our skills, we advance our personal growth and development. An example is our strong feedback culture, which we promote and practice in our daily interactions with colleagues and clients alike.

Whether you’re an assistant or a director we have dedicated and flexible learning paths for you to continue your professional development journey.

Junior leadership development

Everyone has the opportunity to shape Deloitte’s future. For this purpose we have develop a self-paced program for our junior leaders where you will learn what success looks like as a leader at Deloitte and get a chance to develop your leadership skills. The courses are divided into four categories:

• Energize: Includes “finding your why” sessions, developing a winning growth mindset and communication skills
• Empower: Includes prioritizing goals, feedback training, emotional intelligence
• Connect: Includes presentation skills, persuasion and influence, building rapport
• Grow: Includes entrepreneurship, client relationships, innovation

You also have the opportunity to make a firm-wide impact by joining the Next Generation Board or the Junior Advisory Board and drive our innovation agenda as part of our innovation incubator & accelerator.

Experienced leadership development

Our more experienced employees have the possibility to take part in a development journey designed to strengthen their leadership skills. As part of this journey, you will learn what success looks like as a leader at Deloitte, reflect on where you are in your career and identify priority development areas. The program provides space for self-discovery as well as dedicated support from our leaders and external specialists.
