The future of work is bright because of apprenticeships

Join us in embracing an inclusive model to help fuel economic mobility, innovation and a more sustainable and equitable future for all.

Leading a national apprenticeship movement

We recognize the important role professional apprenticeships can play in closing the skills gap in North America and we are reaching untapped talent pools, providing greater access to digital economy jobs and helping reskill workers whose jobs have been, or will be, disrupted by technology.

In 2016, Accenture established its internal apprenticeship program, and a year later cofounded, along with AON and Zurich North America, the Chicago Apprentice Network, partnering with local employers like McDonald’s, JP Morgan Chase and Walgreens to jumpstart their professional apprenticeship programs. Today, the network has 70+ member organizations and has well exceeded its initial goal to create 1,000+ apprenticeships.

Building off the success of the Chicago Apprentice Network, Accenture is working with AON and other organizations to expand the model across the country and has launched localized initiatives in Detroit, Greater Washington, D.C., Houston, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York City, Northern California and Philadelphia.

We published a national playbook to help other companies join the national movement for professional apprenticeship programs and create a more inclusive innovation economy.

Bridging the gap between talent and opportunity.
