By starting your career at Deloitte, you are joining a community of extraordinary professionals who put ‘making an impact’ at the heart of what they do. With our global reach, unwavering support, inclusive atmosphere, and cutting-edge technology, you'll have the opportunity to evolve into your fullest potential.  
 
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 are 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.   
 

Deloitte is committed to staying at the forefront of innovation, including the integration and responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) in our solutions. We value adaptability and a growth mindset, recognising that AI is transforming the way organisations operate. By joining us, you’ll have the opportunity to develop skills that prepare you for the future of work and contribute to shaping how technology drives meaningful impact. 

Interns have a two-day induction in their office to understand the corporate environment, what the expectations are, and the role of interns at Deloitte. 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 will be part of a cohort of 150+ others, all learning collaboratively and building a foundation for your career.  
 
Once you sign your contract with Deloitte, you will start in November that year. Between the application process 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 are interested in pursuing a graduate role at Deloitte 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 have secured a job for after university and do not need to apply again! Internships are only available to people with one more year of study. If you are in your final year of study – we hire a number of graduates who didn’t complete internships. For more information about our available roles, see our website.

As an Intern /Analyst, you will engage in client interviews, workshops, and training sessions, develop deliverables, and present recommendations to stakeholders nationwide across diverse industries. 

Organisation & Workforce Transformation supports our clients across four key areas:   

Organisation Design: Focusing on how companies are structured to ensure they operate efficiently. It involves assessing the current organisation, realigning leadership roles, creating effective functional models, reducing costs, mergers and acquisitions, restructuring teams, and providing consultation support. The goal is to align the organisation’s structure with its strategic objectives for optimal performance. 

Leadership, Culture and Learning: Here, we help organisations develop their company values and desired culture to foster a positive and productive environment. This includes developing high-performance teams, enhancing leadership capabilities through development programs, and designing and delivering learning experiences. The aim is to build strong leadership and a culture that supports continuous learning and development. 

Workforce Strategies: This area is about planning and managing the workforce to meet future business needs. It involves strategic workforce planning to identify necessary capabilities and skills, redesigning work processes to incorporate AI and automation, and planning remuneration and benefits. The objective is to ensure the organisation has the right talent and skills to achieve its goals. 

Strategic & Technology Change: This involves guiding organisations through significant changes, such as adopting new digital technologies and integrating post-merger operations. We focus on enabling new ways of working, promoting sustainability. The purpose is to help organisations adapt to changes smoothly and remain competitive. 

We deliver our work in project teams with team members across our different offices in New Zealand and at times Asia Pacific. This provides a fantastic opportunity to connect with colleagues throughout New Zealand and Asia Pacific.
