Technology Co-Op Internship in Washington, DC (Summer 2017)
Your Role as a Technology Analyst: No two days are the same at Accenture, but that’s why people love it here! As a Technology Analyst, you’ll work alongside clients as you help them make a real difference to their customers: your friends, family and neighbors.

Aligning technology with business strategy and goals, working directly with the client to gather requirements and to analyze and design best practice technology solutions
Focusing on high impact activities within the systems development lifecycle, and providing advisory work for the IT function itself

The work periods will last 14 - 16 weeks and the first rotation may begin as early as September 2017.
