The Interns Ignite Event was created to inspire and expand the network of former, current, and future interns. Inspiration Interns Ignite started with an engaging panel discussion. Some of Deloitte’s current interns, and former interns who now work for the firm, shared their first-hand experiences, shedding light on what it means to be a true Deloitte intern. The participants were invited to get involved and interact with the panelists during the Q&A session. To further enrich the experience, Deloitte also hosted an inspiring keynote by Sofie Lenaerts—the first woman in the Benelux to conquer the Seven Summits. She shared her journey of resilience, perseverance, and boldly pursuing your goals, whether in the mountains or in your career. Finally, they took part in a quiz in smaller groups to get to know Deloitte and its Belgian headquarters, the Gateway building, better.
