The Queen's Consulting Association is excited to introduce a great opportunity to experience management
consulting from a perspective beyond campus.
Accenture Accelerated Engagement Program offers up to seventy-five students in Commerce and
Engineering at Queen's University the chance to interact and learn from industry professionals at one of the
world's largest consulting firms: Accenture.
