Technology is changing the world faster than ever before – and at the heart of every great change is a great human. If you have ideas, ingenuity and a passion for making a difference, come and be a part of our team.
Every day around the world, we work with exceptional people, the latest and greatest tech and leading companies across industries. You'll learn, grow and advance in a diverse culture of shared success, where we’ll empower you to bring your skills, your curiosity and your best true self to your work.
Through our Business & Technology Graduate Programme, you’ll work at the intersection of business, technology and innovation, helping clients solve complex challenges and create lasting value. You’ll explore how organisations can reinvent the way they operate, grow, and serve their customers by combining strategic thinking, data-driven insight, AI-powered transformation and practical technology solutions.
This streamlined programme brings together opportunities across business and technology consulting into one pathway. Through a single application, we’ll consider your skills, interests and potential, then guide you into the work that best fits you, whether that leans towards business and management consulting, hands-on technology delivery, or a blend of both. You don’t need to have it all figured out on day one; you need to be curious about where you could go.
From day one, you’ll work as part of collaborative project teams, building trusted relationships with clients and colleagues while developing your consulting, analytical and technology skills. The work is varied, fast-paced and practical, and no two projects are the same. You’ll build breadth by working across different technologies, industries and client challenges rather than being boxed into a single specialism.
There are many directions your career can take from here, across areas such as technology strategy and transformation, AI-powered customer experience, talent & change management, operating model & business process design, data and analytics, testing, project and programme management, and cloud. Some of our graduates build broad consulting careers; others develop deep specialist and technical expertise. The programme is designed to give you the exposure to work out which path is yours, and the support to pursue it.
Accenture is a people first business which thrives on collaboration, knowledge sharing and building strong connections.
As a dynamic and constantly evolving business, we love the flexibility of a hybrid working model. However, due to the nature of our work, you may be delivering projects on client sites anywhere in Ireland and sometimes outside of Ireland. You will be expected to work on client site or in your assigned office for a minimum of 1-2 days a week (but up to 5 depending on business and client requirements).
There is an expectation for all graduates to be based within a commutable distance of your assigned office which will be Dublin.
The world of consulting is changing. As AI takes on more of the routine, execution-based work, the analyst role is shifting from doing the work to directing it, using AI and new technologies to generate outputs, then applying judgement, critical thinking and accountability to validate, refine and deliver work our clients can trust. Technical foundations still matter, but what really sets our best people apart is how they think and how they work.
That’s why, more than any specific degree or set of skills, we’re looking for the behaviours that will help you thrive in an AI-enabled world. You’ll stand out if you:
We welcome applicants from all academic disciplines, with a minimum 2:1 degree result obtained or predicted. You do not need to be technical, or to have a business background to apply, and we hire brilliant people from arts, business, STEM and everything in between. What matters most is your curiosity, your adaptability, and a genuine interest in how technology, AI and data are changing the way businesses operate. A STEM background can be beneficial for some paths, but it is not a requirement.
At Accenture, in addition to a competitive basic salary, you will also have an extensive benefits package.
Your development begins on day one, and it doesn’t stop after your initial training. We’ll invest in you through a structured induction, hands-on practical training, mentorship from experienced colleagues and leaders, and real project experience, the combination that turns you into a confident, capable Analyst.
Depending on your skillset, and the type of work that you will be doing will vary in the training path that you go down. All analysts joining will build the consulting fundamentals, including business analysis, communication, storytelling and stakeholder engagement, alongside practical, current technical skills.
For those more on the Technical path, you’ll get grounded in the technologies and delivery methods shaping our clients’ businesses, including Agile, DevOps, cloud, data and, critically, AI.
We take AI capability building seriously: all analysts will go through an AI bootcamp, with different pathways developed for different skillsets. We’ll make sure you learn how to use these tools well and apply them with judgement, so your skills stay relevant as the market moves.
Alongside formal learning, your project experience is where your skills really come to life. Working with clients and Accenture teams on live challenges, you’ll build capability in areas such as business analysis, data analysis, testing, project management, technology delivery and AI-enabled change, depending on the projects you support. You’ll also have the opportunity to gain recognised industry certifications across technologies, delivery methodologies and consulting skills as you progress.
You won’t do this alone. You’ll join a supportive graduate community, with the structures around you, including people leads, buddies and a strong cohort, to help you settle in and grow. Accenture is a people-first business that thrives on collaboration, knowledge sharing and building strong connections, and we’ll back you as you broaden your skills, grow your confidence and shape your career in consulting.
