- Give your career the best possible start by joining an award-winning apprenticeship scheme at one of the world’s largest consulting and technology firms.
- Work in our Accenture offices alongside industry experts and thought leaders.
- Get immersed in real consulting projects from day one and make your first mark on a vast global business, while forming connections with a mix of talented people at every level.
- Start with us in September 2025 and study for a BSc (Hons) Organisational Management and Leadership degree with Chartered Manager Status at the University of East London for 3 years.

Our consultants co-create and iterate with colleagues and clients in our Innovation Centres, Labs and Design Studios to reimagine and reshape industries and markets.
Life as a Consulting Apprentice
As a Consulting Apprentice, you’ll be helping to create solutions for our clients’ biggest challenges. You will build relationships at the heart of our clients’ organisations, helping them to address their most significant business issues, and will provide management support to improve business processes. You will be engaged in a variety of project roles and tasks as an Apprentice, which could include developing change management plans, overseeing IT implementation projects, or creating customer journeys.
Whatever you’re doing today, it could be different tomorrow, as you’ll move between projects of varying durations in a range of industries. Regardless of what you’re working on, you’ll be constantly collecting and analysing data to understand our clients’ organisations, and then presenting it in easily digestible forms to deliver high-impact data-driven business insights.
Our comprehensive support network, including People Leads, Buddies, Academic Study Advisors, and fellow Apprentice Peers, will assist you in effectively balancing work and study.
What we’re looking for
To join our apprenticeship scheme, you’ll need to have achieved 80 UCAS points, or an equivalent Level 3 qualification and a minimum of 5 GCSE passes, including Maths and English at grades 9-4 (A-C). Apart from these requirements, it doesn’t matter which other subjects you have studied. You’ll also need a commitment and willingness to invest in your learning and development, devoting sufficient time to the training and study required.
We look for outstanding performers, with an open and collaborative mindset. You’ll need well-rounded capabilities with a proactive, driven and self-empowering approach. Change is the only constant in our line of work, so you’ll need to be flexible, agile, resilient, and able to work with ambiguity and constantly changing demands. A dedicated teammate, you’ll have strong communication and problem-solving skills, and you’ll be confident presenting to an audience and interacting with colleagues.
You’ll need to have a growth mindset to become a good consultant, and you’ll need to be naturally curious about business and technology. We’re looking for you to demonstrate your passion for problem solving, understanding how businesses operate and innovate, and how technology can help them with their business challenges. This can come from your studies, work experience, or extracurricular activities. Experience using PowerPoint and Excel is a big bonus as is an ability to analyse data using statistical methods to find insights and patterns.
What you’ll learn
Through hands-on work and structured training and development, you’ll build specialist expertise, digital awareness, and grow your skills to become a trusted client advisor. The best part is that you don’t need to have any prior consulting experience. You will start your Accenture career with a comprehensive training and induction programme where you will develop a range of skills and gain insights into working at Accenture.
Where you’ll work
Accenture is a people first business which thrives on collaboration, knowledge sharing and building strong connections. You will need to live within commutable distance of your assigned office, and you will be expected to come into the office regularly. Due to the nature of our work, you may be delivering projects on client sites anywhere in the UK and sometimes outside of the UK. You will be expected to work on client site or in your assigned office for a minimum of 3 days a week (or more depending on business requirements).
Due to Gov’t Funding Rules, we are unable to sponsor a UK work permit under this programme.
