Our partnership with RSM has gone from strength to strength over the last two decades – raising over £2 million, establishing exciting new programmes to support young people, and helping hundreds of RSM’s own young talent to achieve their DofE Award.
RSM’s drive to support the DofE is based around an alignment in key values and their desire to be part of a team which helps close the opportunities gap for disadvantaged young people. Together we have engaged RSM colleagues across the UK to support the DofE through fundraising events such as the Diamond Challenge, brought to life our youth-led podcast Navigating Now, and helped thousands of marginalised young people to start their life changing Award through the Resilience Fund.
We know the DofE’s approach works well with young people – that’s why we support it and why we’ve integrated the DofE into our training programmes. The DofE is the bridge between academia and work life. It brings RSM’s teams together and reinforces our company values and culture; building recognition and solidarity, nationwide.
We understand that young people with a DofE Award will have experiences and will have faced challenges which will set them up for life. At RSM, we strongly believe the DofE will help young people potentially become our business leaders of the future.
