What is covered: All graduate business areas in principle; exact route (Skilled Worker new entrant vs Graduate-visa transition) confirmed per job advert

“For most of our graduate opportunities, we can apply for visa sponsorship on your behalf if you meet the Skilled Worker (new entrant) visa criteria. We cannot accept applications from candidates who have previously spent time on a Skilled Worker or Graduate visa.”
Deloitte UK, from its own careers pages
The catch: Prior-visa bar excludes anyone who already held a Skilled Worker or Graduate visa. Degree must be from a UK institution that itself holds or held a Home Office sponsor licence. Vacation schemes, industrial placements and apprenticeships are all excluded from sponsorship even though the linked Graduate Programme is sponsored.
