Accenture office in Reston, Virginia
Friday, January 22 2010
10:00am to 3:00pm
Accenture Technology Solutions believes that attracting, retaining and promoting women is critical to the success of our company. That's why we're hosting a women's networking forum for top female students in the Washington, DC area.
Through the event theme of "Stretch Yourself," we will focus on how we all stretch ourselves to accomplish multiple, often conflicting priorities at school, work, home and in the community. Participants will learn how to up-tap their potential and hear from several Accenture women who have done the same, while getting a jump start on their career search.
Participants will visit the Accenture office in Washington, DC and:
- Network with Accenture female employees and other top female students from the area
- Gain exposure to the business world and build leadership skills to use in any academic or business setting
- Explore career paths with Accenture Technology Solutions and understand what we seek in employees
- Learn how to overcome challenges women face in the workplace
You'll also learn how more than 60,000 women contribute to an environment that’s rich in diversity at Accenture.
Here are just a few comments from former attendees about their experience:
"This event really gave me a head start on planning for after college. I learned many things about what I can be doing now that will give me better chance in the job market."
"It was interesting to her personal challenges women face at work and how they deal with them."
"The networking forum was great! I walked away with tips and ideas I can use as a student as well as a professional."
"The format of the day made it so I felt comfortable asking questions that I probably would not have asked during an interview."
