How do I apply?

The info you need to know about applying to an Accenture programme.

1. Online application

Applications for most programmes open in the autumn. To apply, you need to complete an online profile. You can only apply to one programme in any six month period but if you are unsuccessful you can apply to other roles.

2. Discovery Portal

If you are suitable for the role, you’ll be invited to our Discovery Portal. This is an interactive experience and takes about an hour, but there’s no time limit. You’ll receive feedback within a few days.

3. Assessment Centre

If you’re successful at the Discovery Portal stage, you’ll be invited to one of our assessment centres where you’ll take part in a variety of activities designed to help us find out what your strengths are.

4. Technical Interviews

For some of our programmes, the final stage will be one or two technical interviews with managers from the specialist area you have applied to work in. We’ll give you lots of advice before your interviews.

FAQs

We’re a professional company, so you should look equally professional. For women, this means trousers or skirts with a smart top, smart dresses or suits. For men, smart trousers and a business shirt or, ideally, a suit. Ties are optional but you will probably want to wear one when smarter dress is called for.

Your working hours will be from 9am to 5.30pm. Of course, as you work towards your qualifications you’ll also need to put personal time towards your studies in order to progress on the scheme.

The apprenticeship lasts for around two, three or four years, dependent on the scheme and what level you join us. During that time you’ll be kept busy with a mix of on-the-job experience as well as structured training and courses. You’ll also work towards qualifications so you’ll progress through different stages over the course of your time on the scheme.

If you perform well and complete the apprenticeship, you may be offered a full-time job. Our final decision will be based on business demand.

All apprentices will be offered a 1 year fixed term contract, which will be renewed at the end of each year for the duration of your apprenticeship. Upon successful completion of your apprenticeship, you will be moved into a permanent entry level role.

The role you take on will vary depending upon the project that you join and the area of the business that you’re working in.

This depends on which Apprenticeship programme you choose. Please look at each individual scheme for full degree titles.

The main differences between these opportunities are:

  • The qualifications you will receive upon completion of your degree (look at the individual scheme for further detail)
  • The day-to-day activities will vary as the Consulting programme will have more of a project management focus, that will include a lot of client-facing roles whereas technology may be focusing on the more technical element of our services for clients
  • Universities you will be studying at; for Consulting this is University of West London, for Technology it will vary by location
