Through student programs and workshops, many rising students are involved with Accenture before they even graduate. We sponsor various workshops and forums for the student community to help foster their growth and development. The student career events also serve as an excellent opportunity for college students of similar background to get to know each other and learn more about a career with Accenture. Key engagement initiatives through our Campus Corridor Program include regular student and faculty connect programs via industrial visits, workshops and seminars for various engineering colleges across India. Some of the more significant programs are: Knowledge Sessions on ERP: The Accenture Delivery Centre for Technology in India has designed a module consisting of several knowledge sessions on “Fundamentals of ERP”. This is a unique initiative to provide basic enterprise business process knowledge to future software engineers by sharing relevant concepts and industry practices with them. The program aims at educating the students about emerging trends in the area of enterprise solutions and demonstrating how information technology can be leveraged to overcome real-life business challenges.

Campus Corridor Summit: We have held several summits with Training and Placement Officers of engineering campuses across India. These events were a forum for Placement Officers to interact with the Leadership and alumni working in Accenture and provided them with valuable insights into how their students can shape their careers here. We had also set up experience zones to demonstrate work in the areas of specific technology capabilities, Accenture Technology Labs and our training and learning programs. The Placement Officers appreciated the responses they received to their queries in these interactive sessions. Accenture is also actively involved in the sponsorship of various technical festivals across campuses.
