Because of the nature and scope of our work, Accenture’s not shaped like a traditional consulting firm.
Instead, we operate as a network of complementary businesses that work together in different ways to help our clients achieve high performance. This means that your Accenture career could take you in a number of very different directions, depending on the skills or experience you have and how you want to develop.
When you start working at Accenture, you will work in one of our four business areas: Consulting, Technology, Outsourcing, or Corporate Functions. People working in each of these business areas fall into the corresponding “workforce”, respectively named Consulting, Solutions , Services and Enterprise. Each of our workforces provides the framework in which your career can develop: a unique mix of work experiences and environment, training opportunities and a structure for career progression.
Furthermore, you will be integrated in one of our three growth platforms: Management Consulting, Systems Integration & Technology and Outsourcing. Each of our growth platforms is responsible for assessing markets, defining client value propositions, developing offerings and delivering services and solutions at agreed costs and service levels. The majority of Accenture people are deployed to one of these three growth platforms.
