Accenture is reinforcing its commitment to workforce development and AI education with a suite of initiatives supporting the Administration’s Pledge for American Youth. The company is focused on preparing students and early-career professionals with in-demand skills, AI literacy, and hands-on career experience, while helping close the talent gap in strategic industries.
AI NEWS – A cornerstone of Accenture’s efforts is integrating generative AI practices into high-school and early-career workforce programs, including the Learning to Lead initiative—a six-week national experience designed to empower high school juniors, seniors, and recent graduates with early career exposure, personal and professional growth, and tech-focused skills.
Accenture is also providing grants and resources to nonprofit partners such as Junior Achievement and the Digital Storytelling Academy, supporting programs that foster AI education and workforce readiness.
In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Labor and other business partners, Accenture is helping to develop a scalable tech apprenticeship model. This public-private partnership framework is aimed at creating high-skilled, AI-fluent apprenticeships to support the Administration’s goal of one million new apprenticeships, while also integrating AI training into upskilling programs for manufacturing operators and technicians, particularly in Ohio.
Beyond training and apprenticeships, Accenture offers technology and learning expertise, consulting with government agencies to support AI education strategies at state and local levels. The company leverages its experience in AI, workforce development, and learning technologies to ensure that youth gain the knowledge and opportunities necessary for success in a rapidly evolving economy.
By combining training, apprenticeships, nonprofit partnerships, and expert consulting, Accenture is helping equip America’s youth with the skills to thrive in AI-driven industries and ensuring the nation remains competitive in the global economy.
