MADE Day is a national movement to Make Accounting Diverse and Equitable. BHSD accounting students attended Deloitte in Chicago on October 25.
Firms like Deloitte are bridging equity gaps through the $75 million MADE (Making Accounting Diverse and Equitable) programs, a leading voice for diversity, equity, and inclusion in accounting careers.
MADE combines both financial support and the depth of resources an organization of Deloitte‘s size can bring to attract diverse individuals into the accounting field and support them as they chart their path: from high school to business professional to industry leadership.
Amber Guzak, Bremen High School Business Teacher, stated: "The MADE Day at Deloitte was an excellent day for the students to experience a Big Four company, the four largest global accounting networks.
Students were excited to hear from employees with diverse backgrounds and cultures and to learn of the many possibilities a career in accounting can bring for their future".
The MADE commitment, which includes accounting scholarships, is a comprehensive strategy to work to address the major barriers faced by racially and ethnically diverse students and to grow the population of diverse talent thus helping transform the future of the accounting profession.
