• Eight-month mentorship with an inspiring female professional who has a passion for economics and policy
• Understand how the study of economics can be applied in practice across the private and public sectors
• Gain exposure to Australia's largest and leading economic advisory practice

Model your future…with Deloitte Access Economics has been created to inspire more women to pursue economics and policy as a profession and career path.

This is a mentoring program and not an internship.

What will you get to do?
The program runs for eight months (from March to October), aligning with the academic calendar. The program will deliver a mix of national and state-based events for all program participants that will be delivered in a mix of virtual and face-to-face meetings (where possible). The program was delivered in a mixture of in-person and online in 2022; this approach enabled us to leverage the benefits of our national economics practice and the greater breadth of presenters and content we can deliver, while returning in-person components where possible.

A key component of the program will be four meetings between the mentor and mentee. The program will support the unique goals and aspirations of each mentee. This could include:

• Navigating university decisions and opportunities in and out of the classroom
• Revealing how economics and the study of economics and policy can be applied in practice, including the importance of economic principles in achieving good policy
• Uncovering lessons on transitioning from university to the workplace and/or from undergraduate to further studies
• Reflecting on career and academic ambitions, goals, or pathways
• Beginning to develop a professional network.

There are three key events that are compulsory to attend over the course of the program. Please ensure that you can attend the events below before you apply:

National Welcome | Virtual/in person | 29 March 2023 | 2:00 – 3:30pm (AEDT)
Mid-point event | Virtual/in person | 12 July 2023 | 12:30 -2pm (AEST)
Program close event | Virtual/in person | 11 October 2023 (time TBD)
