Why be an intern at Deloitte

An intern role at Deloitte is the perfect way to spend your summer and get a taste of what working for Deloitte would look like. You start with a cohort of people just like you, who have finished their penultimate year of study, and are wanting to spend their break getting hands-on experience in the field they’re interested in pursuing after graduation. People at Deloitte are the best at what they do and learning from high-performers is a fantastic way to kickstart your growth and career.  

Interns have a two-day induction in their office to understand the corporate environment, what the expectations are, and what you can expect from your time with us. The internship runs from mid-November (following university exams), has a three week break over Christmas and New Years, and finishes early February before you head back to your final year of university. You’ll be part of a cohort of 150 + others, all learning collaboratively and building a foundation for your career. 

Once you sign your contract with us, you’ll start in November that year. Between signing your contract and your start-date, we have a number of touchpoints including a buddy reaching out to you, so you feel part of the Deloitte whānau before your first day. 

If you’re interested in pursuing a graduate role with us after your internship, your buddy and coach can help provide feedback and ensure you make the most of the opportunity. A number of our interns receive a graduate contract at the end of their internship meaning they’ve secured a job for after university and don’t need to apply again! Internships are only available to people with one more year of study. If you’re in your final year of study, we hire a number of graduates who didn’t complete internships – check out our graduate page here.

Tips & tricks to standout

Show an interest in the business unit you are applying for – show us you have researched them and are familiar with what they do. 

We are a client-facing organisation so communication and an ability to work with people or in a team are key. 

Our clients come from a range of industries and backgrounds so building relationships with people is important. Tell us how you have used extracurricular activities, work experience, community/church involvement or sports to connect with people. 

Grades aren’t everything, but we like to know you are dedicated and apply yourself to learning. We know life happens and are aware grades aren’t always reflective of a person’s true capability. There’s room in the application and cover letter to tell us the whole story. 

The video interview feels like the first time we meet you. Ensure you take the chance to check what you’re wearing, what’s in the background, and how you present yourself to the people watching. We view every single application so make sure you’re talking to us like a potential future colleague.
