EY Reconnect returnship program

What is the EY Reconnect returnship program?

The EY Reconnect returnship program is a paid, 12-week program offered in select cities across the US for people who have had an extended break from the world of work and would like to reconnect with their career. 

During the returnship, you will refresh your existing skills and receive specialized learning and development support, executive coaching, and mentorship from our client services teams. And you won’t do it alone. As part of a peer group of fellow returners, we’ll make sure you have access to networks and the support you need to feel empowered to re-enter the workforce with confidence.

EY Reconnect is a great opportunity to refresh your previous experience within the industry and discover the skills you’ve developed during your break because we believe it’s not only your technical experience that adds value. Upon successful completion of the program, there will be an opportunity to apply for full-time employment.

How will you benefit?

• Industry leading training and career opportunities — Through exposure to specialized learning, a diverse range of clients, projects and industries, you’ll enjoy the challenge and diversity of opportunities that will enable you to further develop your knowledge and skills. 
• Purpose-driven, tangible outcomes — You’ll work in a collaborative role across a variety of activities that allow you to pursue purpose-driven work, delivering a tangible outcome and impact far greater than just the bottom line.
  
• Exceptional experiences — We provide the scale, teams and technology to show you what’s possible, so you’ll see opportunities where others see challenges. You will be able to make a meaningful impact, your way. A career as unique as you are - it’s yours to build.
  
• Commitment to diversity and inclusiveness — Our strong commitment to treating people fairly and recognizing and rewarding equitably means you’ll have equal access to opportunities and progression. 
  
• New ways of working — You’ll work in an environment that enables a healthy integration between work and home, allowing you to manage your personal commitments while still being able to achieve your professional goals.
  
• Global network — You’ll work in a global organization with a supportive and collaborative environment, access to international opportunities and diverse colleagues.
