1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

There are many different teams within Accenture doing different things. I chose to work in service management. I Provide operational service management support for multiple clients as part of Newcastle's Shared Service Service Management function. I then go to College on a Friday where i study towards my software engineering degree. I also get involved with Accenture's community on a day to day where i help organizing events and taking part in charity fundraising around the ATC.
