BDO has onboarded over 600 new trainees across its UK offices this week.
The trainees, which join the firm’s 8,000 strong workforce across its four core business areas – Audit, Tax, Deals and Consulting, Risk & Outsourcing (CRO) – are a combination of school leaver apprentices, university graduates and students undertaking a 12-month industrial placement. Over half are based in regions outside of London.
In their first week, the trainees attend a two-day induction at Wembley Stadium where they gained insight into the firm’s culture and values, while also having the opportunity to network and collaborate with their new colleagues.
Head of People, Culture & Purpose, Anna Draper (pictured), said: “Welcoming our new cohort of trainees to the firm is a huge privilege. Our success has always been built on people with ambition and curiosity. This new group of trainees brings all of that and more. I am excited to see the impact they’ll have on our firm, our clients, and our communities.”
