What You’ll Learn

You’ll receive a blend of structured learning, hands-on experience, and tailored apprenticeship training to help you grow into a confident technologist. From day one, you’ll be supported by mentors, coaches, and a dedicated Accenture team focused on your development and wellbeing.

• You will start your journey with some core training, teaching you all the skills you’ll need to be a successful analyst at Accenture.

On successful completion, you’ll have the opportunity to move into a permanent role at Accenture.
• Professional Development: We will invest in your continuous growth through our extensive learning portal, offering curated pathways, classroom-based and self-paced courses, and on-demand resources to keep your skills sharp throughout your apprenticeship.

Typical roles on this programme may include:

• Project/Programme Management

Throughout your apprenticeship and beyond, you’ll be supported with ongoing training, coaching, and guidance to help you grow your skills and shape your career. You’ll also work across a variety of projects, giving you the chance to explore the breadth of what we do, apply what you are learning at university and discover where your strengths and interests lie.

On completion of your apprenticeship, you’ll be aligned to a specialised business area that reflects your ambitions. From that point on, you’ll continue to build expertise, take on more responsibility, and shape a career path that’s uniquely yours.
