North East students working summer at Deloitte

As the academic year comes to an end and university students decide how to spend their summers, a group of North East students have joined the Deloitte Summer Vacation Scheme with placements at the business advisory firm’s Newcastle office.

Four students have been accepted onto the scheme at Deloitte Newcastle following applications from 2,200 students across the country. The summer vacation scheme is a seven week programme that offers students work experience in Audit, Tax, Corporate Finance or Consulting service lines in the summer before their last year at university. The programme exposes participants to client work, and encourages them to contribute solutions to every-day company problems.

Paul Williamson, Office Senior Partner at Deloitte Newcastle said: “The scheme has been designed to help Deloitte secure top talent and it enables us to target these people at an earlier stage. “This is a great opportunity for students to learn valuable business skills in a corporate environment and earn some money to use in their final year at university. Around 90% of those that take part will be offered graduate positions at the end of their placements.”
