Our people are our most important asset and we invest considerable resources to provide ongoing training that builds and extends professional, technical and management skills in all areas. We do, however, expect you to take responsibility for your own career development, supported by innovative programs and tools designed to meet your individual needs.
The Accenture Delivery Centre Network for BPO in India prides itself in providing a high-growth learning environment. Development opportunities begin with induction and pre-process training, which is conducted in-house for all new hires. However, learning is an ongoing process and takes place across teams, through team meetings and reviews and by identifying and adopting best practices. At every level, we encourage people to learn and acquire new skills, both on-the-job and through formal assignments conducted online or in the classroom.
