Where will I work?
At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.
All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our family friendly, flexible working here.
The AI & Data team will invest in you from day one. Your development is a partnership, combining hands-on project experience with a world-class learning curriculum.
- Analyst Induction Programme: Four weeks of business, soft skills, and technical training when you join the firm to kick-start your development here at Deloitte.
- Structured Foundation: Your first two years include dedicated training sessions covering the core technical and consulting skills you need to excel as an AI & Data professional.
- Mentorship & On-the-Job Learning: You’ll work in high-performing teams alongside industry experts who will guide and mentor you on challenging client projects.
- Drive Your Own Path: Beyond the core curriculum, you have access to learning pathways run by Deloitte’s top experts. Want to become a specialist in GenAI, MLOps, or Data Strategy? We’ll provide the resources.
