Accenture Innovation Challenge
Providing college students across the U.S. an opportunity to offer ideas and solutions to support a priority goal of a nonprofit organization.
Do well by doing good
Making a positive impact on society, gaining hands-on consulting experience, and networking with Accenture leaders are just a few of the perks of the Accenture Innovation Challenge. Bring your most creative ideas to life by helping our nonprofit client solve a real-life business problem. This year, Accenture is proud to partner with Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF), an organization who helps people with physical challenges pursue active lifestyles through fitness and competitive athletics.
At Accenture, we believe it is our responsibility to address some of today's most pressing societal needs with innovation and technology at the forefront. Each selected participant will be grouped into a team and paired with an Accenture mentor who will provide coaching throughout the process as you develop ideas to support CAF’s mission.
