What awaits you

Help us with exciting consulting projects for our clients.
Did somebody say agile project management? Jump right in and support our team on current projects. You will keep track of who does what, have your colleagues' backs, and bring your own ideas to the table. -
Prepare meetings, workshops, and presentations.
You will set up (virtual) project meetings, organize workshops, and ensure the documentation is up to date. Once you have acquired more in-depth knowledge of the project's scope, you will start creating presentations that help our clients make better decisions. That's the impact interns have at Accenture! -
Network and keep in touch with the people involved.
Consulting is a people business - and communication is key. That's why you will be introduced to all decision-makers and other stakeholders from the very start to ensure you are constantly up to speed on all project matters. If there's a project-related question coming up, you have all the answers.
