Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
My day-to-day tasks involved attending team meetings, completing tasks assigned by my team members, and working towards objectives that I set with my People Leader. My tasks really allowed me to gain exposure to a variety of different clients and projects, as well as helping to strengthen my understanding around my service line. Deloitte provides a fantastic opportunity to fully immerse yourself into your chosen service line and as an intern, I was able to help out with work that has real outcomes from the get go. The SVS really gave me a great insight into life at Deloitte and what working in my chosen service line entails.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The SVS really provides a great opportunity to understand Deloitte as a business, and to learn more about your specific role. My colleagues were super friendly and helpful in answering all of my questions around working at Deloitte, and shared their insights and experiences about what the role entails. This gave me a great understanding of what working as my role was like. The range of tasks available to get involved with also provides a great understanding of your chosen role.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I developed my Excel skills through the tasks I was assigned to work on. The SVS also improved my communication skills, as the internship provides ample opportunities to network, talk to your fellow interns and colleagues, and meet new people across the office. I also strengthen my technical skills around my chosen service line, through working on a range of different projects. I became more familiar with the software Deloitte uses too. Deloitte also provides a range of training courses which helped strengthen my interpersonal skills.
