Deloitte extends ex-military insight days down under
Mon, 04 Jan 2016 | By Graham Simons
The programme, set up in 2012, is designed to support serving and ex-service personnel moving into the commercial world. It delivers networking opportunities with Deloitte professionals, including its ex-military personnel and provides an insight to what it’s like working at the professional services firm.
Chris Recchia, senior partner at Deloitte, who has spent 14 years in the military and 14 years on Civvy Street, runs the programme. Speaking towards the close of the latest Deloitte insight day in the City of London, Recchia told Recruiter the firm was seeking to link up with its US operation, which hosts similar events, to offer a combined event. This would take place in the second quarter of this year over several days.
Recchia added Deloitte was also speaking to its Australian practice about lessons learned from the UK with a view to replicating the programme down under.
This year Deloitte has hired 50 ex-military people in the UK, taking the total number of ex-military personnel working at the firm to 200.
