Help a client to improve their grant application process and prioritise initiatives as a Strategy Consultant with Accenture.

At Accenture, we are innovators who look to improve the way the world works and lives. Coming from diverse backgrounds, we work together to solve our clients most challenging problems with leading-edge technologies.

With the Accenture Strategy Consulting Job Simulation, you’ll get to experience what it is like to work on a project that mirrors the skills our teams have and the work they do in the real world. You’ll build the skills you need in areas such as project and stakeholder management, decision-making, data interpretation, as well as user experience and process design – in short, skills that we believe will give you an edge in anything that you do, from finishing your uni work, to pursuing personal projects and launching your career.

Whether you already have an idea about how you want to use your degree, or are still feeling your way around, the Accenture Discovery Program will give you a taste of how a career with Accenture could help you make a real impact on the world around you.

Modules 1-5 are a core part of the program and will take approximately 5-6 hours to complete in total to earn your certificate.  

Module 6 is a bonus data analytics module if you would like to continue your learning – this final module alone takes approximately 4 hours.
