Who are we looking for?

As a leading professional services firm, it’s essential that we offer clients the support of top quality and balanced teams of professionals - diversity of thought, talent and ideas is critical to this.

Combined with strong academic results, we are seeking people who are analytical, confident, self-aware, results orientated and want to develop leadership skills early in their career.

We encourage applications from a wide range of disciplines including business, engineering, maths, science, law, technology and arts, amongst others.

What qualifications do I need?

How you think and solve problems is just as important to us as your academic achievements. But you’ll need a certain level of education to show you’re able to study for your professional qualifications.

We accept applications from all degrees and disciplines to our graduate and undergraduate programmes. However, we do require you to have received or be on track for a 2.1 (NFQ Level 8) degree at minimum.

Where can I work?

Each year we have Intern, Work Placement and Graduate positions available all over Ireland, with offices in Belfast, Cork, Dublin, Galway and Limerick.

What professional qualifications are available?

This depends on your role and programme.

What support exists for graduates once they are hired?

All graduates enjoy a structured induction programme, providing valuable insights into professional services, our culture, best practice methodologies and most importantly an opportunity to build networks from day one. A key part of our learning approach is the Graduate Journey, which ensures graduates develop both professionally and personally.

Our graduates who choose a professional education path consistently excel in their professional exams and this is underpinned by the tangible exam support offered to our students, including generous study leave, internal lectures and mentoring.

What makes Deloitte Programmes unique?

Graduates and Interns who join Deloitte will work in a supportive and connected environment where our leaders promote and facilitate lifelong learning - you will have the opportunity to work with the best people, solve complex business issues and support local communities through Corporate Responsibility initiatives.

We are focused on developing “leaders at all levels” by providing and encouraging graduates to take on leadership roles and opportunities irrelevant of grade or experience.

We’re proud that so many young people start their careers with Deloitte, even if some of them will eventually move on elsewhere. We see graduates and interns adding a lot in terms of innovation and new perspectives, and this is why we continue to focus on providing a premium career journey for students each year.
