The fast-track to developing the world-class business skills you’re looking for.

REGISTER YOUR INTEREST

Introduction

Accenture Consultants help our clients conceive, design, and execute business solutions at the speed and scale that the new digital world demands. On this programme, you’ll develop the skills to transform our clients’ businesses across people, processes, and technology.

Applications are currently closed. 

As an Analyst, you’ll work as part of a project team to build enduring, trust-based relationships at the heart of a client’s organisation, helping them to address their most significant business issues. You’ll get early responsibility and build your skills and expertise through interesting and challenging work. Not only will this enable you to pursue your passion, but you’ll develop an understanding of the business issues and technologies applicable to each industry, enabling you to grow and play your part in delivering innovative solutions tailored to each client.

We look for outstanding performers, with an open and collaborative mindset. As an Analyst, you’ll need well-rounded capabilities with a proactive, driven and self-empowering approach. A dedicated teammate, you’ll need strong communication, project management and problem-solving skills, and high learning ability. Above all, you’ll need to be naturally curious about business and technology. This programme is open to those with a bachelor’s degree (in any discipline – achieved or predicted).

Accenture is a people-first business which thrives on collaboration, knowledge sharing and building strong connections. Whilst there may be times where it is necessary to work from home, in order to feel fully integrated we expect that you work in-person on client site or at your assigned Accenture office at least three times per week.

 

You will need to live within a commutable distance of your assigned office, which will either be Edinburgh, London, or Manchester, but you’ll also need to be fully prepared to travel, as client projects could take you anywhere in the country.

Empowering futures

At Accenture, we believe in empowering each and every identity. Because when we do, we start to build the truly diverse and inclusive world in which we all want to live. That’s why we’ve launched our Empowering Futures series. This series includes three different initiatives aimed at encouraging Female, Black Heritage and Social Mobility candidates to discover Accenture and what we have to offer.

It’s our commitment to equality. Our answer to inclusion and diversity. And our invitation to society to stand alongside us.

Training & development

We believe that your career is your adventure. All this training, experience and client exposure is focused on turning you into a trusted client advisor; someone with deep industry experience and digital awareness who is able to become a future leader at Accenture.

What you know is what we can sell to our clients. So we’ll invest in your development from your first day. And realising you need to be up-to-speed as soon as possible, we’ll make sure you have all the training you need. As well as an award-winning induction programme and a supportive graduate community within the Analyst Consulting Group, you can look forward to mentoring from some of our most successful leaders. The training you’ll receive will be widespread and practical. It will combine sessions that focus on critical soft skills as well as the core capabilities you’ll need to develop into a trusted and successful consultant.

All training will help you get the all-round skills for success but it will be your experience that will really make the difference, which is why the variety of live project work we’ll give you will be so important.
