  • Responsibilities

    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.

    You’ll work with them to identify their challenges and collaborate with your Accenture colleagues to develop and craft solutions. You might spend your day:

    • 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

    Your Technology Co-Op Internship:

    The Accenture Federal Services Technology Co-Op Internship is a paid position and selected students will alternate periods of work with AFS and full time academic enrollment at their home institution.

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

    Co-ops will preferably complete multiple work rotations.
