Careers
Introduction
If you're in your penultimate year of university, our immersive 3-week virtual scheme will show you what we do, how we do it, and how you could be part of it. The aim is to give you an insight into what life is like at the sharp end of business and technology. By the end of the scheme, you will come away with loads of valuable skills – and hopefully an offer to join us when you graduate.
What will I be doing?
The scheme’s start date is 30th of July 2021 and it ends on 20th August 2021. You’ll be immersed in a pro bono consulting project from day one. Intense and rewarding, this project will allow you to make your mark on a global business, while building connections with talented people across our organisation and making a difference to a client that really needs it. From the beginning, you’ll have a mentor who will provide useful tips and guidance on your work and career whenever you need it. You will be introduced to the business straight away and given a full 2-day workshop on how Accenture functions from our diverse range of colleagues that you will work with. Then, you’ll learn about the project you will be undertaking, receive a problem statement and be placed in teams where you will work towards a solution with guidance from the client and your mentors.
Do I qualify?
You’ll currently be in the penultimate year of study for your degree and be expecting to receive a minimum 2:1 bachelor’s degree. A strong communicator with great organisational skills and a real passion for IT, you’ll want to know more about how technology can make a real difference to business.
Applications are now open and close on 1st December 2020. Places are filled on a first-come, first-served basis - please apply early to avoid disappointment.
