Gen You 2025: Our next generation Graduate Programme for the next generation of business leaders
At Forvis Mazars, we're not just hiring graduates, we're cultivating the next generation of business leaders. The Forvis Mazars 2025 Graduate Programme is now open, offering over 80 exciting opportunities across all departments. This is more than just a step into the professional world; it’s your launchpad to a fulfilling and purpose-driven career.
What makes Gen You different?
Gen You isn’t your typical graduate programme. It is designed as a catalyst for your career, a journey that will both challenge and inspire you to become a leader in your field. From the moment you join, you're set on a path filled with growth, mentorship and real-world impact.
We’ve built this programme to meet the evolving demands of business and society. At the heart of Gen You is our commitment to fostering talent, championing innovation and supporting sustainable business practices that contribute to a fairer, more prosperous world.
Our ambassadors: meet the Heroes of our Graduate Programme
At Forvis Mazars, authenticity is key to who we are. We pride ourselves on being a firm that does things differently – challenging the status quo, leading with innovation and putting people first. That's why our current associates, the very people who have walked in your shoes, are the faces and voices of our Gen You campaign.
For each department, we've chosen a Gen You ‘Hero’, an associate who joined us through and thrived in the graduate programme. These ambassadors represent the values, ambitions and culture of Forvis Mazars. They are here to share their personal experiences, giving you an insider’s view into what life is like as part of our firm.
By sharing their journeys, our Gen You Heroes aim to inspire new graduates, showing that no matter the challenges of starting a professional career, you’ll be supported every step of the way. They are a fantastic representation of not just our firm, but of the growth, opportunities and successes that await you.
Gen You: Built for the future
Gen You was born out of a vision for the future. Launched in 2023, it emerged from a reimagining of our graduate recruitment strategy. We didn’t want a programme that simply served as the next step after university; we wanted to create a transformative experience that truly kickstarts your career.
We designed Gen You with intention, ensuring that our approach, training and opportunities reflect the evolving needs of the modern business world. This programme isn’t just about professional development; it’s about shaping you into a future leader.
Behind the Scenes: The making of Gen You
Some behind-the-scenes footage of our Gen You Heroes filming for our 2025 graduate campaign.
Creating our Gen You 2025 was a great experience for our Heroes. Each ambassador plays a central role in producing the campaign, from on-camera interviews to participating in video shoots, social media content creation and much more.
This campaign is designed to showcase their stories and their growth. By being front and centre, our Heroes gain a behind-the-scenes look at how media production works, an added benefit that helps them develop valuable skills beyond their day-to-day roles at Forvis Mazars.
Our ambassadors are deeply involved in bringing their stories to life. This experience empowers them and brings authenticity to our campaign. It’s also an excellent confidence-building exercise which will stand to them as they develop professionally.
The film production took place over three days and three locations, our Dublin, Limerick and Galway offices.
Our investment in people
At the core of everything we do at Forvis Mazars is our people. We firmly believe that our success as a business is directly tied to the growth, development and success of our employees.
That’s why we’ve built an innovative career framework, designed to offer a structured yet flexible approach to career progression. From clearly defined goals and milestones to world-class learning opportunities, we ensure you have every resource needed to succeed.
Our commitment to you begins with Forvis Mazars University, where you’ll have access to tailored learning paths that evolve with you, from intern to associate, and even to partner. Whether you're pursuing professional qualifications or honing your leadership skills, we provide you with the freedom to shape your career while offering the guidance and support needed to excel.
