2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Had no prior technical knowledge, through working at Accenture I have learned skills such as web dev, C# and RPA. Along side this, I have learned softer skills such as learning to present and teach a variety of people.

In my current role, not a lot. However, I can see that if I change to a different area of Accenture, I might find my studies more applicable.

8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Plenty of networking, training and charity events to get involved with

9a. Would you recommend Accenture to a friend?

Yes

9b. Why?

There is a wide variety of roles available for apprentices to try out and move between. The managers are approachable, helpful and adaptable. Accenture have plenty of resources to train, up-skill and improve softer and technical skills and there are more opportunists and technologies than university offers.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Accenture?

Be prepared to work hard but don't be afraid to ask for help. There is so much support available. You don't have to sit in a role you don't enjoy, talk to the team and rotate into something you prefer.
