EY School Leaver Programme

A full time job with a competitive salary, independence and responsibility – without going to university first. The EY School Leaver programme is an alternative to university that can lead to the same professional qualification you’d get as a graduate. You could even qualify sooner than some graduates, all without any fees or debt.

Our five-year training programme lets you join EY straight after school or college – just as some of our Directors and Partners did. From day one you’ll gain valuable experience, earn a salary and build lasting networks.

To be eligible for our schools leaver programme you should be studying A levels, Scottish Highers, or equivalent.

At EY, academics form part of our overall hiring decision but we don’t screen out any school application purely on the basis of academic performance at A-Level.

We will assess your suitability for a role at using a number of tools including situational strengths tests, numerical ability tests, telephone interview and an assessment centre.
