Why did you choose to join Deloitte?
I joined Deloitte in September 2016 via the Entry Level Apprenticeship scheme as an 18-year-old school leaver, I was one of a cohort of 11 and I'm still in regular contact with most of my year group to this day. The apprenticeship appealed to me because it gave me the opportunity to work for a Big Four firm whilst studying towards a qualification at the same time. It also enabled me to adapt to working life which softened the transition between school and work.
How have you grown and developed?
Six years since joining Deloitte, I am now an Assistant Manager in the Large and Complex business unit, which sits in the Audit & Assurance service line. I am also a chartered accountant at the age of 24! This was all possible through the BrightStart Apprenticeship scheme, a four-year scheme that combines on the job training with study. I now manage audits and act as the first point of contact for companies. I'm also a coach to the new joiners and I'm responsible for organising social events for the South-West public sector team.
