About Accenture UK

Your role

If you're in your penultimate year of university, this immersive 3-week virtual scheme will 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 Accenture when you graduate.

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 the 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.

Training, development & rotations

You will be introduced to the business straight away and given a full 2-day workshop on how Accenture functions from a 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.

Compensation & benefits

Accenture understands that what you earn and the benefits you receive have an enormous impact on your quality of life. Because they are always competing to attract and retain the very best people, they continuously review their rewards strategy to make sure it’s the best it can be. It includes:

• Salary of £20,000 per annum (pro rata)
• A ‘buddy’ to support you throughout your time with them
• Opportunity to gain a permanent role after you graduate
• Personal laptop

Career progression

You will be involved in real projects and will have ample opportunity to develop and grow professionally. Once you’ve completed your internship, you’ll possess highly in-demand skills and qualifications.  By the end of the scheme, you will come away with loads of valuable skills – and hopefully, an offer to join Accenture when you graduate.

Work-life balance

Balance your work and personal life with a range of workplace options and innovative tools that help you stay connected globally.

• Flexible Schedules: They provide several voluntary options, including job-sharing opportunities, and part-time and flex-time schedules.

• Telecommute: Work from a location other than a designated Accenture office or project site.

• Client-Site Flexibility: Manage your time away from home with fly-back flights, compressed workweeks, extended weekends, and time at the client.
