Within the Consulting Graduate Programme, graduates have an opportunity to develop their career and help Accenture grow their business.

Working in partnership with industry leaders and ecosystem partners, they are at the forefront of technological innovation,” says Burke.

“One of the best reasons to join Accenture is the quality of the people you’ll be working with. Many people say they join for the projects, but stay for the people,” says Burke.
