    Accenture is one of the world’s leading management consulting, technology services and outsourcing companies. And we strongly believe that attracting, retaining and promoting women is critical to the success of our company. That’s why we’re hosting the Accenture Women’s Networking Forum, a series of one-day networking events this winter for top female students in their sophomore or junior year.

    Centered on the theme of teamwork, these events will help empower a new generation of female leaders by helping female students develop and strengthen their teamwork and leadership skills. Accenture female senior executives will also describe how they maintained the focus and dedication required to become good team players and leaders at Accenture.

    Selected women will attend a one-day event at the local Accenture office closest to their university and:
    • Network and build relationships with top Accenture female employees, along with top women from other universities
    • Gain valuable exposure to the business world and build teamwork/leadership skills to use in any academic or business setting
    • Get a realistic preview of what it’s like to be an Accenture employee
    • Explore career paths within Accenture and understand what we are seeking in future employees
    • Learn how to successfully overcome challenges women face in the workplace

    You will also hear about how through Accenture’s Global Women’s Initiative, we have established many programs to retain and advance our female employees, including flexible work arrangements, networking groups, and mentoring programs

    Basic Qualifications
    • Candidates must be current undergraduates with a graduation date between December 2010 and June 2012.
