Whether you are looking to join us straight from school or with a degree, we have a programme that is right for you.
And if you are looking to gain work experience whilst at school or some practical experience during your summer at university, you can explore our internship or work placement opportunities.
Explore our different programmes below to see which is the right programme for you. Whilst they may say apprenticeship or graduate programmes, it doesn't mean you have to be fresh out of college or university, we welcome people returning from career breaks and just changing careers onto our programmes. It's about what you can bring to the role.
Join as an apprentice and you’ll start working towards a professional qualification right away. For anyone with A-Level (or equivalent) qualifications, an apprenticeship helps fast track you to qualification whilst you earn, and if you join straight after A-Levels, you can qualify ahead of your peers who go to university.
Our three-year graduate programme will take you from graduate to professionally qualified, opening up a world of opportunity. With the scale and variety of clients we work with, no two days are the same at Grant Thornton, whether you join us in audit, tax or advisory.
We also offer summer internships and 12 month placements to university students in their penultimate year of study, and for those on a sandwich-year course for placements. Both programmes give you a fantastic opportunity to find out more about careers in professional services and they can set you on a fast track through to an offer for your graduate programme.
Our work experience programme, Ignite, has been designed to give you an insight into the world of accountancy, and the career opportunities this can offer you. You will spend a week in one of our offices immersing yourself into life at Grant Thornton, and you’ll have the opportunity to fast-track onto one of our school leaver programmes at the end of your week with us.
Are you ready to take the first step towards an exciting career in Accountancy? Our Scotland Insight Programme is designed to give you a real taste of life at our firm.
We’ve got a flexible approach to academic entry requirements, and we’ll consider these alongside your strengths and motivations. We’ve set ambitious growth targets for the firm, and we need the right people to help us achieve these. We’re looking for people who will bring ambition and drive to their role.
Our early careers programmes are open to anyone with A-levels (or equivalent) or a degree, not just those leaving college or university. If you are later in your career and looking for a career change, a apprentice and graduate programmes can offer you a fantastic opportunity to build on your skills and develop a new career.
Watch our video podcast to hear from Matt and Nick about their experiences joining as career changer trainees.
