| INTRODUCTIONThe HKU-Accenture Business Consulting Programme is a unique learning opportunity offered by The University of Hong Kong and Accenture. Striding into our seventh year of collaboration, this remarkable Programme brings together Business School Undergraduate students and senior Accenture consulting professionals to inspire new thoughts for business in the digital age. Participating students will embark on an intellectually stimulating journey with a close-up of the business consulting industry, up-to-date industry knowledge and essential business skills.
This year, we are thrilled to announce the partnership with Hong Kong Technology Venture Company Limited (HKTV) for bringing a real-life business case to this renowned business consulting programme. It offered valuable opportunity for students to apply the knowledge and skills they have acquired in a practical setting with valuable insights and guidance from industry professionals throughout the whole learning journey.
The Programme will be wrapped up in a case competition with closing ceremony. Selected student(s) may be considered for internship opportunities at Accenture or HKTV.
