These training places, funded by my Department, will position participants strongly to compete for a job with Deloitte in this exciting sector and I would urge anyone who is eligible to consider applying.”

Jackie Henry, Office Senior Partner at Deloitte in Northern Ireland and Managing Partner for People and Purpose at Deloitte UK, said:

“Deloitte firmly believes that Northern Ireland needs to continue to invest in its skills base across key sectors in order to take advantage of opportunities and ensure that our economy remains competitive on the international stage. As such, we are delighted to announce the latest Deloitte Academy in partnership with the Department for the Economy.

“Our Deloitte Assured Skills Human Capital Academy offers an exciting opportunity for people to develop new skills that will potentially help them to secure a role in a fast-growing area of our consulting business and equip them with the tools and experience needed to take the next steps in their career.”
