Case study
Social mobility through Access
One hundred Deloitte volunteers worked with 1,000 students at St. Mary Magdalene Academy in London to develop the skills they need to access higher education and succeed in the workplace. We delivered a programme of practical help for students and teachers to play our part in helping students succeed regardless of their background. The Academy Executive Principal described the Deloitte Access Programme as “the most ambitious and comprehensive he has ever seen between a school and commercial partner”.
Working with the Academy we delivered extensive support including mentoring, leadership skills, current affairs workshops and employability skills. The Academy senior management team have access to Deloitte Partner mentors and we are currently delivering a pro bono engagement on leadership succession planning. Ultimately, this programme allows our team to share their client-facing skills and expertise with the students to build long-lasting impact.
