Our people are our most important asset, therefore, 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 continuous and multi-dimensional, resulting in a holistic 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 the business, technical and behavioural competencies needed to perform your role effectively.
High performance is our promise to clients—this means that we have to encourage high performance at Accenture, which is why continuous learning is so important. To enable this, we provide an environment that encourages and supports each employee to learn, teach and share expertise with colleagues. We have innovative and personalised learning tools and resources to assist you in accessing the training and development opportunities you need.
We offer an organised training curriculum to meet specific professional skill needs related to particular industries. We also provide role-based and job-readiness skill training to prepare for specific assignments and training sessions to build deep, specialised skills tailored to your career level. Our professional development training session supports development of the interpersonal, professional, cross-cultural, management and leadership skills required to become a well-rounded professional and to succeed across various projects and roles. However, learning is an ongoing process and also takes place across teams and through team meetings and reviews, through identifying and adopting best practices.
With our pioneering e-learning tool, myLearning, you can monitor your training progress and create your own curriculum and development plan. Training programmes are available through various formats to enable further development whenever and wherever it is convenient. From classrooms to virtual sessions and self-paced computer courses, our employees can enrol in any of the more than 18,000 courses at the click of a button. The strong e-learning strategy constitutes the foundation of the learning environment at Accenture and the starting point in our employees’ journey toward growth and development. People are able to learn at their own pace, acquire knowledge specific to a project or client and have access to a wealth of information.
We also offer a higher education programme that allows employees to study and work at the same time. The Educational Sponsorship Programme demonstrates our commitment to the professional and personal development of our employees. Accenture has linked up with premier educational institutes and we sponsor employees to pursue part-time programmes and courses that will help them advance their careers.
In addition to the above, you will have access to a broad network of colleagues around the world who can provide mentoring and coaching.
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 holistic culture with a strong emphasis on learning, teaching and nurturing. In short, at Accenture, you never stop learning.
