\n\u201cI really enjoyed the one-day workshop given by Accenture professionals, they went into detail about having a career in consulting. They also dived into topics such as Web3.0 and sustainability for businesses. This made me more certain in beginning my career in consulting.\u201d<\/em>

\u201cThe Accenture x HKU Business Programme provided us with case presentations and interactive activities with consultants. Throughout the case presentation, I learned to provide concrete suggestions to SMEs and to pitch our team’s ideas in an organized, concise, and intriguing way. In the one-day programme that allows us to interact with Accenture consultants, I gained insights into some prominent trends, namely the new retail, ESG, and Web 3.0. Moreover, the conversations with consultants also deepened my understanding of the tasks and qualities of a consultant. After the programme, I genuinely learnt more about the life of consultants and hope to be one of them!\u201d<\/em>

\u201cThe HKU-Accenture Business Consulting Programme not only offers an in-depth insight into the consulting world but also shares valuable knowledge regarding the newest market trends. Overall, it is a fruitful experience!\u201d<\/em>
\n(by Mr. Kua Mang Ting Daniel; BBA(Acc&Fin); Year 2)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe programme introduces many new trends within the consulting industry in an interactive way. It also shows how trends are being understood and analyzed by an experienced consultant. We get a glimpse of some common consulting frameworks that help brainstorm ideas effectively and comprehensively. Due to the pandemic, we only had a one-day workshop. Even though we didn’t get the chance to build our own consulting skills, like case analysis skills, we were able to observe how consultants grab the attention of the audience and deliver key messages in a presentation. The host and guest speakers also share about life and their learnings in the consulting industry.\u201d<\/em>

\u201cThe meaningful one-day workshop allows me to gain deeper understanding and insight into the consulting industry.\u201d<\/em>
\n(By Mr. Lau Wang Shun Kelvin; BEcon&Fin; Year 2)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the one-day course, I learned more about emerging industries such as new retail, NFT, and sustainable development, and interacted with Accenture professional consultants in the class, which really broadened my horizons. <\/em>
\nOn the other hand, the sharing of Accenture consultants about their career paths, their reasons for becoming consultants, and their work, was helpful and inspiring, which further strengthened my determination to become a consultant after graduation and have a clearer career planning. Hence, I have learned a lot from the program, so I am very looking forward to joining the full program next year, which can have the guidance and advice from Accenture professional consultants.\u201d<\/em>
\n(By Miss Wan Tsz Ching Connie; BEcon&Fin; Year 2)<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe one-day insight sharing program was fruitful and thought-provoking given that the speakers covered various content. The consumer trend section digs deep into China consumer market\u2018s recent development and the evolution of brands and malls to provide omnichannel, personalised and experience-based products. Meanwhile, the ESG and Metaverse sections gave us a glimpse of the most prominent trend in the business and investment industry. Last but not least, speakers shared their experience as consultants in Accenture, including their projects, remarkable moments, relationship with clients and their personal and intellectual growth. <\/em>
\nIn short: One day with Accenture to leverage imagination, stimulate intellectual growth, and find your career path.\u201d<\/em>
