• Curiosity to learn and eagerness to contribute in a team-oriented and collaborative environment
• Ability to work creatively and analytically in a problem-solving environment
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills

What’s in it for you?

On completion of your internship and on successful completion of your degree, you will be considered to participate in the Accenture HR development program. You will have an opportunity to work on five different assignments across HR disciplines and business areas. You will also have an opportunity to travel on an international assignment to work on a local assignment in a different country. This will help you develop a global mindset and understand how we translate our vision in an extraordinarily local way in a different country. Throughout the program, you will have an opportunity to develop your functional and professional skills through ongoing classroom and virtual learning.
