Description

About the programme
At EY, we're committed to offering opportunities for all. We live in a diverse world and believe our workplace should reflect this.

We've designed a programme for students in Year 13/S6 (Scotland) and all university undergraduate years, that will give you the tools and experience to support you in your career journey.

Our Social Mobility in Business programme is aimed at raising awareness with students from lower socio-economic backgrounds enabling them to learn more about EY, network with inspiring leaders, and gain an insight into the working world at EY.


Over two days, you'll discover potential career paths at EY, meet senior leaders who can advise and guide you, chat with fellow students and start thinking about your future.

As an added bonus, completing this programme will fast-track you onto one of our 2024 or 2025 Tax programmes as you progress into your career journey, once you've discovered what you'd like to do
