The new recruits include school-leavers, who have joined Deloitte as part of the firm’s award-winning BrightStart apprenticeship programme aimed at supporting students to gain professional qualifications alongside on-the-job training.
Along with graduates they will be based across a number of Cambridge teams, including tax, audit, risk advisory and economic consulting.
Deloitte’s student recruitment process includes blind recruitment and academic contextualisation, which ensure that all applicants are assessed equally, regardless of their background.
Paul Schofield, South East East practice senior partner at Deloitte in Cambridge, said: “The recruitment of these young people underlines our commitment to developing the next generation of outstanding business talent from a variety of countries and backgrounds – all smart, keen and impressive. Where will these colleagues be in 10, 20, 30 years?”
