Our people have a range of degrees, including human resources information systems, information technology, computer science, engineering, law, science, environmental studies, actuarial studies, economics, finance, maths, arts and psychology.
Be successful
At EY, there is no one path for everyone. You’re encouraged to create a path that reflects your individual talents and aspirations. We assess your individual strengths and development needs and provide a tailored framework to advance your progress. We’ll work with you to help you succeed professionally and personally.

Giving back
Through our EY Foundation programs, EY has shown an ongoing commitment to sharing the responsibility of caring for the community. Whether it’s for local businesses, disadvantaged people or the environment, we volunteer our skills and time to give back to those in need. Together we can build a better working world.
This program taught me the value of building relationships, teaming and above all balancing work and fun. The relationships I developed helped immensely with my transition to working life. Having a team of people who were going through a similar new experience was invaluable, as were all the memories from events. While 7 years on many of my grad group are now succeeding in other roles, the network and friendships I was able to develop through the grad program is still important to me today.
How did it shape your current career?
The grad program gave me the support and the building blocks I needed to develop and succeed in my career. My buddy and counsellor were always available and never seemed to tire of my endless questions, helping me to grow and reach my goals; the training program taught me valuable technical skills (I still drag out my old training materials to this day!), and the opportunities to attend meetings and be part of a team on large complex assignments taught me how to manage client relationships and workflow.
What is your advice for future graduates?
Ask questions, seek out opportunities and challenges, learn as much as you can and above all else enjoy the experience. It’s such a fun and exciting time for which you can establish the grounds for success in your future career.
Andrew Baker | EY Vacationer Program
Why did you apply to the Vacationer Program?
I applied to be a vacationer at the EY organisation as I wanted to be a part of a team that helps clients transform, and I really identified with EY team’s purpose of “building a better working world.” I wanted to work in a role where I could help drive long term improvements and change, having a positive impact on clients, and in many cases on the community more broadly.
What did you learn through the program?
I have learnt so many things at the EY organisation that it is impossible to capture in one sentence. Working with different clients and people helps you learn general to specific competency and sector skills. There is always the opportunity to learn at the EY organisation, and it is the perfect place for people who are lifelong learners.
The best thing about the program
The best thing about the Vacationer programs is being able to spend time with the EY teams and explore what a career at the EY organisation could hold for you. EY is a great place to work if you are unsure of what you want to do with your career as there are so many different things you can try. I would definitely recommend the Vacationer program at EY (after all I did come back as a graduate). It was a great way to learn more about the organisation and also learn about myself and help identify what some of my areas of interest are.
Annie Zhai | EY Cadet Porgram
Why did you apply to the Cadet Program?
The cadet program is such a great way to apply the knowledge you’ve learnt in class on real-world clients. The EY organisation is renowned for its service excellence and our large portfolio means that every engagement is different to the next. Also, you can’t beat the view from EY offices!
What did you learn through the program?
Trust yourself. A lot of the times we doubt ourselves because we’re not confident in our abilities. But we often surprise ourselves.
The best thing about the program?
EY teams have a ‘people first’ culture that is centred on nurturing your professional and personal development. Your seniors will encourage your tax technical development and place you on interesting engagements that foster innovation and creativity.
Caitlan Howle | EY Career Compass Program
What did you learn through the Careers Compass Program?
The Career Compass Program was a great way to learn about the offerings of EY service lines beyond information that can be found on a website. Getting the opportunity to speak with people from diverse teams in each of the service lines uncovered all the career opportunities that are available at the EY organization.
The best thing about the program
The undoubted highlight of the Career Compass Program is having the opportunity to speak with a diverse group of people who were so passionate about their roles but the EY organisation. Being able to talk with so many people gave me a clear idea of the type of work I wanted to be doing in the early stages of my career and to start building a network.
Would you recommend
I could not recommend the Career Compass Program more highly. The opportunity to network with a diverse group of people across EY teams and gain insights into a variety of career paths and possibilities as an employee of a global professional services firm.

Diversity & Inclusion
Talk to anyone at EY and they’ll tell you it’s a rewarding place to work in so many ways. EY teams attract high-performing individuals from different backgrounds and experiences who – like you – bring a unique point of view and business skills.
We welcome all people, no matter who they are or what their background is. Each of us is different, and when people feel valued for their differences, they feel part of something greater; they feel like they belong. That’s when creative ideas flow, igniting innovation and inspiring more effective solutions.
We each have multiple aspects to our identity, some of which may not be visible to others. Whether cultural background, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, age or family status; we value diverse viewpoints and see them as the catalysts that lead to better questions and better answers. Using a variety of internal networks, inclusive leadership behaviours, flexible working and mentoring programs, we use practical solutions to create your personalised work experience, all supported by a strong, authentic culture and our fundamental belief that we all ‘belong’.
EY STEM App
The EY STEM App is an innovative gamified mobile app that aims to spark interest, inspire, and empower the next generation of girls into STEM subjects and careers. The free-to-use app is designed as an out-of-school learning tool and targets female students aged 13-18 years.
The app has over 450 activities that focus on STEM. It features topics focused on science, such as climate change or space exploration; technology, such as artificial intelligence, 3D printing and blockchain; the future of work and skills that may be required for future, yet-to-be-defined jobs; and inspirational stories of women in STEM. These activities map to transferrable skills in the OECD 21stcentury skills framework and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
With an incentivised learning model, girls earn points as they complete learning activities such as reading an article, interviewing members of their community, completing an experiment or watching a video. As they build up points, girls can redeem various rewards such as:
Digital vouchers to be spent across selected retailers
Mentoring workshops delivered by EY (topics include Future of Work, Day in the life of a Consultant and Women in Leadership)
Following an extensive pilot to over 7,000 girls in India and the United States, the program is now being scaled to countries globally – including Australia and New Zealand, with the aim of reaching 100,000 girls in 2022.
Express your interest!
We are seeking interest from organisations that work directly with schools/teachers to facilitate girls’ participation. There is no cost to you, schools or end-users of the app (girls).
If you are interested in delivering this opportunity to your member schools/teachers, please reach out to the EY STEM App Program Manager – Brook Rudolph to discuss further.

People with Disability at EY
Ability is an EY network for allies who support disability inclusion across the workplace and communities, those who care for a person with a disability and EY people living with a disability.
It aims to elevate disability inclusion on all agendas and ensure accessibility at EY, recognising the contribution all EY people make to the working world.
We are proud at EY to be one of the 4% of organisations across the globe that include disability in the EY diversity agenda (World Economic Forum 2019) and one of the first companies to sign up for the Valuable 500.
In 2017, the first Accessibility and Inclusion Plan was launched, outlining the ongoing commitment to disability inclusion for EY people and clients; we are making great inroads but acknowledge there is plenty to do and are silver members with the Australian Network on Disability to assist us with this. Additionally, the very popular Auslan@EY classes are running in multiple cities to teach basic Australian Sign Language and disability awareness skills.

EY Oceania Unity Leader, Gina Mills, won the Inspirational Role Model award at the 2018 New Zealand LGBTI Awards for her work in raising awareness and providing support in the LGBTI community.
EY continues to champion a focus on mental health for LGBTI youth across Australia, through the ongoing collaboration with organisations, as well as the contribution to national diverse sporting teams.
CD@EY
CD@EY, supports culturally -diverse and emerging leaders to realise their potential by fostering two-way dialogue and knowledge sharing between professionals of different heritages and faiths.
Our Cultural Diversity mentoring program is now in its third year and pairs culturally -diverse individuals with leaders to explore career and development opportunities.
Our flexible working policy allows EY people to substitute public holidays for days of cultural significance and cultural agility training is a key focus to improve the cultural capability of EY teams.

ATSI at EY

A day in the life of an Indigenous Intern
After completing his summer internship at EY, Phillip was offered a part-time role as part of the Technology Strategy & Transformation team whilst finishing his STEM degree. Phillip is currently finishing his Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Computer and Software Systems.
“Originally from Darwin, I moved to Brisbane to attend boarding school. Currently, I am studying a Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Computer and Software Systems. I started at EY through the Indigenous Internship Program and was lucky enough to obtain a position as a Consultant. My favourite part of my experience so far is being able to work closely with EY clients to help build resilience into their increasingly large and complex IT systems, applications and infrastructures. My EY Technology teams and the Indigenous Sector Services have been extremely supportive and accommodating. They not only understand my work, social and university commitments, but they respect them. The life of a Consultant is both challenging and rewarding. My advice to those who are considering applying would be to remain open, humble and don’t be so hard on yourself.”
