Discovery II Intern

Description

Deloitte is a multinational professional services network that provides audit and assurance, consulting, financial advisory, risk advisory, tax, and legal services. The firm has its headquarters in New York City and is one of the “Big Four” accounting organizations. Deloitte is one of the largest professional services networks in the world, with more than 330,000 professionals serving clients in 150 countries.

The Discovery II Intern – Government & Public Services Risk & Financial Advisory position is a seven-week internship that gives interns an inside look at what it is like to work for Deloitte. This internship is open to all eligible students, and the company encourages students who identify as Black or African-American, Hispanic or Latinx, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, or two or more races to apply.

During the internship, interns are assigned to one or more client projects, where they receive mentorship and support from Deloitte professionals. Beyond exposure to real-life projects, the internship offers a variety of national and local learning and networking events. Throughout the internship, there are ongoing learning events, including lunch and learns, industry/service line spotlights, and regularly scheduled training offerings. The interns gain a firsthand understanding of what a career with Deloitte is like and have the opportunity to build a cross-functional professional network.

Interns are expected to adapt to change and demonstrate strong interpersonal and communication skills, creativity, and self-confidence. They must be team-oriented and able to work collaboratively. They are also expected to demonstrate leadership qualities and potential.

Each intern is assigned a mentorship team, including a counselor and onboarding advisor, to help offer guidance throughout the internship. The counselor, typically a manager or senior manager, offers career guidance and feedback. The onboarding advisor is a peer level “buddy” to help answer questions and offer insight into how to make the most of the internship experience. Additional mentors, both formal and informal, will be identified during the internship. These mentor relationships can carry over into the future and offer a great way to stay connected to Deloitte while back at school. There will be a formal goal-setting and evaluation process throughout the internship. Depending on performance and other factors, Discovery interns may have the opportunity to receive a subsequent internship opportunity at Deloitte.

To be considered for the Discovery II Internship, candidates must be college students with an anticipated graduation date of 2027, definitive plans to pursue a bachelor’s degree in business, accounting, economics, STEM, or a related field, a strong academic performance (minimum GPA of 2.8), extracurricular activities, and be at least 18 years of age at the time of employment.
