5. How well organised/structured is your programme?

The education side is very poorly structured in my opinion just by the fact that it seems its still very new and they are trying new approaches each year which can leave a negative impact.

8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?

We are provided charity days to help support others outside of work. As well as this I have been on trips to Dublin and London to visit clients and do training so I would say that the answer to this would be yes.

Yes

9b. Why?

The apprentice scheme is a very good deal and although education can be hard it is a part of what makes it a good deal because there are no fees

Be yourself, be confident and be determined as it all depends on how much you want to work at Accenture and gain new skills
