Deloitte/One Young World 2023 Scholarship Program | Fully-funded

Today’s increasingly complex global challenges require us to work together to build a better, more sustainable future, for both people and planet.

One of the most pressing of these challenges is the climate crisis. As the world continues to recover from the pandemic, it is critical that we don’t just return to the ways of doing things as before; we must use this moment to find and develop collective and innovative solutions to tackle climate change and meet the Paris Agreement.

In securing the future of the planet, however, we must also ensure that it is a future in which the next generation is equipped to meet the challenges that will come with it. Investing in education and skills is key to empowering individuals, nations, and society to face the challenges of tomorrow. However, millions of people around the world are held back by educational inequality, with 800 million youth today not predicted to have even the basic skills to succeed in the workforce by 2030.

At Deloitte, we believe we have a responsibility to build a better, more sustainable, future within which every individual is empowered, uplifted, and able to achieve their full potential. Through our strategic initiatives, WorldClass and WorldClimate, we are respectively committed to expanding opportunities for 100 million people globally by 2030, as well as addressing climate change, both within our organisation and beyond.
