What is the ACCA Accelerate programme?

 Accelerate is a partnership programme between ACCA and selected universities in the UK. The programme gives students of accredited accounting and finance programmes an early start to a successful career.

 

What is the purpose?

  • Helping students get ready for the world of work, with relevant interview tips, access to the Jobs Board, CV advice and networking help
  • Supporting students through their studies with exam tips and technical articles
  • Providing exclusive employment opportunities with employers recruiting directly from the Accelerate programme, such as Dyson and SPXFlow
  • Providing free access to ACCA Future Talent Academy

Why join a professional body?

  • Kudos:being a student member of a professional body not only looks good on your CV, but also shows a level of early commitment to a career area, particularly if you get involved in the association's activities
  • Advice:you can find out more about what working in the profession involves and find out more about the process for qualifying
  • Information and resources:you will be receiving regular news updates, and many professional institutions disseminate key information and knowledge through publications and journals, online services and events
  • Peer and professional networks:you'll have the opportunity to meet and network with like-minded students and experienced professionals through special interest groups, regional branch activities and student-focused services

 

In a nutshell:

  • Start planning now and be aware of the industry changes
  • Demonstrate to future employers a proactive approach towards your professional development
  • Only you can decide how to accelerate your future career
  • Apply now for an internship, placement or graduate role. If you don’t apply, someone else will

 

With best wishes
