Deloitte CORE Leadership Program

Identity · Career · For-profit

Serves: Nationwide, TX

Free 2.5-day career transition program at Deloitte University for veterans within 12 months of separation — executive-style curriculum covering personal branding, career exploration, networking, and mock interviews, supported by veteran coaches.

Origin & mission

Deloitte launched CORE in 2013 as part of its White House Joining Forces commitment to double veteran hiring. Rather than simply recruiting veterans, Deloitte went further: building a 2.5-day immersive program at Deloitte University to help veterans understand their own identity, purpose, and leadership strengths in civilian terms. The program does not guarantee a job at Deloitte — it is deliberately designed as a discovery experience for veterans at any stage of transition.
