Life as a Graduate

Pre-onboarding activities

From the moment you sign your contract, it can usually take months before you have your first day at EY. The waiting time can be long, and we would like to ensure that we are continuously in contact until your first working day. Therefore, as a graduate, you will find that we host numerous pre-onboarding activities, where you can meet your new future colleagues and become familiar with the business procedures at EY. It’s very important to us that you feel like a part of EY even before you start.

Our pre-onboarding activities have previously consisted of bowling, wine-tastings, bingo, Friday bars, dinners and quizzes.

Nordic Induction Program

Your first meeting with EY as a new graduate is the Nordic Induction Program in August; a program that will give you an introduction to how everyday working life can be in the future and will give you the opportunity to get to know your new colleagues better. We spend a lot of time tailoring the program so that it will be an exciting experience for our new colleagues.

On the first day on the job after the introductory week, all our graduates are assigned to client projects. This allows you to quickly start building experience in how we work together with our clients.

Internal training and courses

During your first two years in Consulting, you will take part in our graduate program SPOT ON, which provides you with relevant courses, mentoring, and experience sharing with other graduates in Consulting.

Through a combination of formal and on-the-job training, you’ll learn professional and soft skills, and core project management skills.
