Discover EY - Social Mobility in Business - April 2025 intake

Programme overview

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 either Assurance, Tax, Strategy and Transactions, or Technology.

What you will be doing

Over two days (one virtual and one in-person), you'll participate in exciting activities that give you a taste of life at EY. You will:

Regardless of your chosen business area, our team is dedicated to supporting you every step of the way. You’ll get to prosper in an environment that enables you to learn, shape and grow.

And that’s not all — If you're in school, you could have the option to be fast-tracked onto a Business Apprenticeship, and if you're at university you could be fast-tracked onto a Summer Internship, Industrial Placement or Graduate programme. The opportunities here are endless.
