Your career journey in HR and Tech Transformation

The program will provide you with the opportunity to network with your peers from other service lines and geographies. Running in parallel to your technical learning, you will develop leadership skills to become a successful graduate, and as you grow as a transformative leader.

As a HR and Tech Transformation graduate, you’ll:-

  • Participate in tailored onboarding and training sessions to help you build core consulting skills and understand our services

  • Gain hands-on project experience

As a vacationer, after our company induction, you’ll start developing an understanding of how our HR and Tech Transformation teams work and will be ready to work alongside teams on real client projects. You’ll meet other new vacationers from your office.

Your buddy and your counsellor will help you learn your way around the organisation, set your goals and plan your development while you’re here. You'll be well looked after with ongoing learning throughout the Vacationer Program with sessions facilitated by our Learning and Development team, Campus Recruitment team and service line specific training.
