Business & Technology Delivery Associate Review

My role is based on the project that I am on and changes as the project changes. As a Degree apprentice I can choose from a wide range of role that are available both technical and non technical roles. My current role is a mixture of a designer and PM. As a designer I create designs using stories created by the BA. And the PM role is made of tracking the different releases.

Since joining Accenture as a degree apprentice I have had the opportunity to work on many different project taking on different roles to develop a wide range of skills. The ability to move from one project to another provides the flexibility to gain experience from different roles and ares to make the most of the apprenticeship and develop a good skill set.

As a degree apprentice at Accenture in London I have really enjoyed the flexibility of having access to multiple roles and project as well as the trust and freedom from the team leads to do real client work, gaining client exposure to be able to make the most of the degree apprenticeship.

The programme is well structure to the point that university education is aligned to the real world and can be useful while on projects to be able to deliver good client value. However, there is no set structure when it comes to projects and roles as you are expected to find a project that you like. The university courses as well are very disorganised sometimes.

The employer Accenture is very supportive to us degree apprentices as they have provided us with a wide range of certifications that we can do and get certified in. We also have some support when it comes to the university side, however, we are expected to liaise with the university leads.

The university is quite supportive as the lecturers offer a lot of support in understanding and learning the modules. However, the university degree can feel at times very disorganised and the university is not too supportive in getting the structure changed. You might have to ask for a lot of clarification which should not be the case at this level of education.

The qualification from my university has played a very good role in getting me to kick start my career at Accenture, especially the first year at the company. I have learnt some good skills that I have applied to my day to day role to perform better and make the most of the apprenticeship.

From the company side of thing there are several groups and networks that you can join for extra curricular activity. Some groups focused on sports, socials, etc. However, due to covid it has been challenging to be able to make the most of these groups. The groups are open to everyone for joining.

Accenture offers a wide range of opportunities like different projects to choose from as well as many different roles to choose from. This is why I would recommend Accenture to a friend. As you will be able to explore the different opportunities, projects and roles to find the best fit for yourself.

As I have said before, Accenture is a huge company with so many different opportunities like different projects and different roles. So you might find yourself lost at the start, however, if you know the area that you are interested in and want to grow in; then Accenture is the best option. So know your interests and be assertive about taking on opportunities.
