Fostering, communicating, and promoting a culture of belonging is central to how we attract and retain talent—including diverse talent. To improve representation, we're recruiting talent in new ways while recognizing that enhancing diversity within our entire organizations starts from the outside-in. For internships and entry-level roles, we have increased our recruiting at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and now recruit at more than 35 schools across the country.

As we continually enhance initiatives for identifying talent, we look holistically at the talent journey—from obtaining internships through equipping students with the skills needed to help them succeed in the workforce.

Bold Ambition's goal is to bring greater awareness about the value of a career in the auditing profession through active and substantial education, outreach, advertising, and public relations efforts.

We are actively partnering with minority serving institutions to understand social, economic, and academic barriers that may exist, and developing strategies to bring them down.

We are helping connect interested minority students and professionals with firm-driven initiatives, including:

• Providing broader awareness about academic and scholarship opportunities
• Engaging in the neighborhoods where we live and work, recognizing that a more just and equitable world requires a community effort
• Investing and improving in workplace cultures, making it possible for employees to fully participate, thrive, and succeed in their career
• Bringing clarity to the path that leads someone to become an audit professional
