Learning and development is a key element of our employee value proposition. At Accenture, learning is not a time-bound means to a short-term end. It is rather a continuous and holistic, multi-pronged and highly focused way of life. You will develop capabilities through on-the-job work experience, formalised classroom-based training, self-initiated study and interaction with experts. The programmes are aimed at enhancing your skills and equipping you with business, technical and behavioural competencies needed to perform your role effectively. High performance is our promise to clients and at its core is our impetus for continuous learning. To enable this learning, we provide an environment that encourages and supports each employee to learn, teach and share expertise with his or her colleagues.

Continuous Learning

We recognise and understand the need to continually enhance the capabilities of our employees and build on the experience they gather on the job. Employees undergo training and development activities throughout their work life at Accenture. We are committed to providing training to deliver superior solutions, whether in advanced systems development programme management, emerging or established technologies, or professional skills. Accenture's proven experience as the leading provider of innovative, high-performance technology solutions provides the perfect environment for honing employee skills. To support a continuous learning environment and enable you to integrate better with the global Solutions workforce, we offer you a Global Training Curriculum that has three key areas: Application Delivery Training: You will be trained on the Accenture Delivery Suite, which is Accenture's best project experience, crystallised into simple, easy-to-use delivery methods, tools and architectures. Technology Speciality Training: This training supports building the deep, specialised technology and delivery excellence skills required to deliver technology solutions. This technology training is tailored to your career level and technology skills. Professional Development Training: This training supports the development of the interpersonal, professional, cross-cultural, management and leadership skills required to succeed across various projects and roles as a well-rounded professional. Taking our culture of employee engagement to a formalised level are the Accenture Core Seminars. These annual events provide a platform for Accenture’s executive leadership to engage with future leaders of the company. As part of learning and development, employees also have access to career counselling, “Leadership Connect” and town halls for mentoring, coaching, sharing knowledge and networking.

MyLearning

The myLearning internal website is available to all Accenture employees. From classrooms to virtual sessions and self-paced computer courses, our employees can enroll in any of the more than 18,000 courses at the click of a button. The website enables employees to access a wealth of information and create their own curriculum and development plan. The strong e-learning strategy constitutes the very foundation of the learning environment at Accenture and is the starting point in our employees’ journey to growth and development.

Communities of Practice

At the very essence of Accenture lies innovation and we have taken this forward to our learning initiatives. We have built strong communities of practice within Accenture in both industry and technology domains. Experts in particular technologies or industries share their knowledge and expertise with colleagues within the company. This unique knowledge-sharing platform not only helps in honing the skills of individual employees but also creates valuable assets for the company.

Higher Education Programme

Top performers at Accenture can continue their education through our continuous learning initiative. Accenture sponsors Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master of Science programmes in various institutes. The Educational Sponsorship Programme demonstrates our commitment to the professional and personal development of our employees. They get the opportunity to pursue part-time MBA courses at IIM-B, NMIMS and XLRI. As part of our efforts to ensure that the best talent is available to the client, we encourage and support certification programs across technologies. In fact, to facilitate many of the certification programs, we are associated with premier institutes. For example, through the Accenture Solutions Delivery Academy set up in association with the Professional Education Program’s office of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, we offer our employees international certification as application developer and/or application designer.

In a similar tie-up, Accenture has partnered with the Indian School of Business (ISB), Hyderabad, to pioneer the Accenture Management Development Academy (AMDA). Being part of Accenture is as much a learning experience as it is rewarding. Each employee has a growth and development plan that is commensurate with the growth and vision of the company. To support our sustained growth charter, we have built a culture with a strong foundation on learning, teaching and nurturing that is continuous and holistic. In short, at Accenture, the learning never stops! See what our employees have to say about working at Accenture. Sandeep Chandran, Senior Programmer Dhanya Nayak, Analyst Programmer
