Keeping it local: Firm recruits Scottish uni graduates to hold onto homegrown talent

Management consulting company Accenture is hiring 20 Scottish university graduates for its Edinburgh office. The new hires will join the global firm following a recruitment campaign with Scottish universities to help hold onto local talent. They will embark on a companytrainingprogramme to equip them with digital and technological skills, such as working with blockchain. A survey published last week showed fewer than a third of Scottish university students planned to remain in the country after graduation.
