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. 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. If you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team.

How will I develop?

You will complete a fully funded qualification alongside your apprenticeship:

• Level 4 Associate Project Manager Apprenticeship
• Level 6 Project Manager Degree Apprenticeship (on completion of Level 4)

You will be provided with 1 study day a week to focus on working towards your professional qualifications, alongside paid study leave prior to exams.
