Deloitte are very excited to be sending our Bright Stars to Ada
for a very different experience
and to really understand what it means to have career in technology.
As Deloitte we’ve got the opportunity to hire people directly
out of the Ada Sixth Form college as well
which is quite exciting for us.
So we get people who are actually much earlier on in their lives,
who are showing a real passion for technology.
What we’re doing is offering mentors to some of the Ada students
where they can have almost like a buddy or a friend to talk to
about some of the career decisions
that they’re going to have to make over the coming years.
I think that’s really key for us as a firm
so we get to know the students,
they get to know us
and they also have that support there
to make some of those key decisions in their life.
Some of our senior staff from across the firm
actually come in and talk to the students
about real life projects and engagements
that we actually are really doing with our clients;
and then actually looking at how do we enable the students to
almost do like a mock project,
so it feels to them like
they are going through a real life business scenario
with the support from Deloitte there.
So they understand really what work is going to be like.
