The Deloitte Business Competition

October 10th, 2009

The Deloitte Business Competition gives university students in the UK the opportunity to make their impact on the London 2012 Games. The Challenge is a vital component of the work that the London Organising Committee of the Olympic Games and Paralympic Games (LOCOG) is currently undertaking. If you think you can come up with the most innovative solution to the Challenge you could be winging your way to the Singapore Youth Olympic Games in 2010 to support Team GB.  You will also receive two weeks of paid work experience with the Deloitte London 2012 team.

The Competition closes at 12.00pm on 1 December 2009.
