Through our coaching and training programs, you’ll develop the skillsets you need to stay relevant today and in the future – all while building a network of colleagues, mentors, and leaders who will be on the journey with you at EY and beyond.

    The exceptional EY experience. It's yours to build.

    The opportunity: your next adventure awaits.

    Everything we do comes back to building a better working world, and that takes colleagues from all walks of life – each with their own unique perspective and skills. Our Launch program is just one platform designed to support and develop underrepresented groups within the professional services industry. With a structured step-by-step approach, it’s the perfect place to gain hands-on experience alongside seasoned industry professionals.

    This program is all about giving you a solid foundation on which to develop your career. That covers everything from deciding on a direction suited to your own talents and ambitions to advise on how best to further pursue that goal. What’s more, you’ll build a varied network of colleagues, who could influence your career wherever you go in the future.

    This is a rotational program, so you’ll learn all about a wide variety of areas and service lines specific to your market and interests such as Assurance, Consulting, and Tax. Whichever areas you visit, this is a true learning experience where you’re likely to spend time rotating around and supporting colleagues on live projects right from the start and observing conflict management and team dynamics. You can expect plenty of chances to discover the true inner workings of a highly respected global brand, all while practicing the technical, business and communication skills that will set your career apart.
