Part of the support we offer you is ongoing training to help you remain at the top of your game and continue to grow. We offer around 80 percent more training hours than our competitors and make constant investments in our employees’ development to keep them at the top of their games. In 2008 we invested $985 million in training and professional development and provided an average of 78 hours of training per person.

Internal communities

Our internal communities help our people feel connected throughout Accenture no matter where they are or with whom they work. Communities are typically comprised of 100 to 150 employees spanning all levels and provide a forum to create strong ties with colleagues through professional and social activities.

Networks

Most Accenture offices also have rich networks outside of work that encourage personal interests, meeting fellow Accenture people and having fun socially. Gatherings are designed to foster collaboration and teamwork, offering a means to get to know colleagues better, including those you may not work with on a regular basis.

Mentoring

Whether attending a baseball or skiing outing or hearing a guest speaker update everyone on the latest developments in a new technology, our internal communities provide strong support to our people. In addition, they offer an excellent environment in which to cultivate mentoring relationships to help guide your career.

Training and development

At Accenture, we do not just have learning down to a science. We literally wrote the book on it. Return on Learning published in 2007, tells the story of how we reignited learning for a whole new generation of Accenture people, including our award-winning study demonstrating the return we make on our learning investment. Your Accenture Education experience begins the first day you walk through the door, and continues each day of your career. Every step of the way you’re learning, growing, and building yourself—getting ready to meet the next challenge that comes your way.
