Professional services giant Deloitte is to create 50 new graduate opportunities in Belfast, with technology consulting skills up for grabs at their academy.

The graduate intake will train for 10 weeks at Belfast Metropolitan College and will be offered a guaranteed interview at Deloitte.

Announcing the graduate opportunities, Jackie Henry, a Senior Partner at Deloitte, said: “The Deloitte NI Technology Assured Skills Academy offers graduates the chance to be trained in the latest technology consulting areas, including software engineering, DevOps, data analytics and software testing. This is a high quality opportunity for graduates with no experience needed.”

“This is Deloitte’s biggest Assured Skills Academy to date and testament to the firm’s continuing commitment to tapping into the breadth of graduate talent in Northern Ireland. Collaborating with Belfast Met with the support of the Department for the Economy enables us to do this and ensures we recruit the skilled staff we need to continue our growth,” added Ms Henry.

Commenting on the new scheme, the Department for the Economy’s head of employer skills, Ann Williamson, said: “The Deloitte NI Technology Assured Skills Academy offers graduates the chance to gain pre-employment training from Belfast Metropolitan College that will equip them for a career working with cutting edge technology.”

“Assured Skills Academies help ensure there are people with the right skills available to businesses, enabling them to provide quality employment and career opportunities while supporting economic growth. This year more than 1,300 jobs have been promoted through Assured Skills Academies and we are continuing to work with businesses, Further Education colleges and universities to deliver further Academies across a range of sectors,” added Ms Williamson.

Belfast Metropolitan College’s Head of Business Development, Tim Lemon, also commented, saying: “We are committed to working with local businesses in all sectors to deliver training for new and existing staff, as well as expertise in innovation and research.”
