At Accenture, high performance is an everyday reality of working for a global management consulting, technology services and outsourcing company. This is a 177,000-strong organisation that looks for graduates who want to build an exceptional career in the world of business and technology.
Accenture gives high-performing graduates everything they need to achieve more. A consulting career begins with exceptional training, including a two-week course at Accenture's offices in Chicago within a graduate's first six months, and continues with the help of mentors, a combination of classroom and online training courses. Working with big-name clients and people at all levels across the business, graduates gain exposure and responsibility.
In the Analyst Consulting Group, they work on projects across industries and specialisms to build strong business and technology expertise. This equips them with the insight to deliver commercial benefits in management consulting, systems integration and technology, often working alongside outsourcing teams. Consulting with Accenture offers a real breadth and depth of experience.
Accenture works with clients to help them become high-performing businesses, and it needs similar qualities in its graduates. Good academics are essential — a 2:1 or above and at least 340 UCAS points. This must be complemented by further evidence of high performance, be it through work experience or community involvement, a position of leadership or responsibility, a real interest in technology, and a genuine career focus.
