In an employee-driven talent market, companies thrive by the talent they can attract. Smart employers are getting more thoughtful about who they hire. Accenture’s learn-while-you-earn Apprenticeship program is a fast-growing innovation that’s paying off for all involved.
Apprentices are unique among Accenture’s prestigious and competitive applicant pool because they are hired into professional roles, including technical and client-facing ones, without a four-year degree. Accenture’s apprenticeship program is a learn-and-earn model —typically 12 months long— that provides apprentices with market-based wages and comprehensive benefits while building cutting-edge skills needed for a successful career.
A year later, along with Aon, Accenture co-founded the Chicago Apprentice Network, partnering with education partners, non-profits organizations and local employers like McDonald’s, Zurich Insurance and Walgreens to jumpstart their apprenticeship programs. Today, the network has more than 70 employer organizations and has well exceeded its goal to create over 1000 apprenticeships.
That is just the kind of story that looks superb on a Corporate Social Responsibility report. But that is not where Etheredge is filing these anecdotes and the data about the Apprenticeship program. He sees it as a critical and innovative talent strategy that will enable the firm to grow its business in the way it hopes to.
