for refugees and people seeking protection who are building new lives in Ireland.
This programme aims to support refugees, people seeking protection and beneficiaries of temporary protection to
understand their legal rights. It is also a great opportunity to meet new people and network with other refugees
and a people seeking protection to hear their stories and learn from their experiences. This is the 4th Know Your
Rights programme in Ireland, more than 400 people have participated since 2021.
We are also delighted to announce an exciting opportunity for interested participants who complete the Know Your Rights
Programme to be considered for the Deloitte Development Programme which aims to give people the skills to succeed
in the workplace. This virtual programme, recommencing in early 2025, will upskill people across many areas including
CV and interviews, communication skills, creating a personal brand and MS Office. Candidates who successfully complete
this programme will be invited to apply for a six-month Development Internship position in the firm. In 2024 Deloitte
