Deloitte One Young World Scholarship Program 2020

Applications are open for Deloitte One Young World Scholarship Program 2020. This scholarship is intended for young leaders focused on improving the education, skills, and access to opportunity for people in their communities, countries, or world at large.

Deloitte One Young World Scholarship Program

Education is the cornerstone of sustainable development. There are currently 1.8 billion young people (aged 10-24) worldwide and over half of this population will not have the skills necessary to participate in the emerging global workforce. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) clearly recognize that this gap must be closed, as the international community more explicitly addresses the challenges of quality and equity in education.

At Deloitte, we are committed to preparing 50 million people to succeed in a rapidly changing global economy by 2030. We are applying our core skills, experience, and global reach to make an impact through education, skills development, and access to opportunity, in line with SDGs 4 – Quality Education and 8 – Decent Work & Economic Growth.

As a longstanding partner of One Young World, Deloitte is proud to support the Deloitte One Young World Scholarship 2020, which will enable 10 outstanding young leaders to attend the One Young World Summit in London, United Kingdom on 14 – 17 October 2020.
