About the Discovery internship

The Discovery internship is designed to expose freshman and sophomore level summer interns to different client service businesses at Deloitte. These opportunities are designed to help grow your skills, empower your curiosity, and celebrate your versatility. We empower our interns’ desire to expand, explore, and engage by providing cross business exposure, regular training, and continued learning.

Your internship experience will include personalized mentorship, professional training and continuous learning through Deloitte University.

Learning and networking
Beyond exposure to “real life” projects, the internship also delivers a variety of national and local learning and networking events. In addition, throughout the internship there are ongoing learning events such a lunch and learns, industry/service line spotlights, and regularly scheduled training offerings designed to help you develop technical and client service skills. You will understand first-hand what a career with Deloitte is like and have the opportunity to build a professional network.

Mentorship and professional development
Our mentors can guide you from internship to potential future employment, by providing resources and attention to help you to turn potential into prowess. Each intern is assigned a mentorship team, including a counselor and onboarding advisor, to help offer guidance throughout the experience. The counselor, typically a manager or senior manager, offers career guidance and feedback throughout the course of the internship. The onboarding advisor is a peer level “buddy” to help answer questions and offer insight into how to make the most of the internship experience.

Additional mentors, both formal and informal, are often typically identified during the internship. These mentor relationships typically carry over into the future and offer a great way to stay connected to Deloitte while back at school.

There will be formal goal setting and evaluation process throughout the internship. Sophomore Discovery interns may have the opportunity to receive a client service internship at the conclusion of the Discovery Internship Program.
