Esther Kim
Esther Kim currently supports Accenture’s U.S. Corporate Citizenship program, the Skills to Succeed (S2S) Academy. Specifically, she supports the development of new partnerships to expand the reach of the Academy to young people who want to take charge of their careers. She also makes continuous improvements to the Academy to ensure the material is up-to-date and responsive to feedback from students and instructors using the Academy.

Prior to this role, Esther has had more than a decade of experience in education, training, communications, project management, and new business development. She first served as an international school teacher traveling the world, then shifted to non-profit and international development work in the education sector. Through her varied career path, Esther firsthand knows the challenges of forging a career and navigating the shifts. She truly believes young people should start thinking and preparing for their careers now, and that the Skills to Succeed Academy is such a valuable tool to do that.

Esther received her M.A. in International Educational Development from Teachers College – Columbia University, and her B.A. in Education/Psychology from Swarthmore College. She lives in Arlington, VA with her husband and two little boys.
AAPF18 Sessions:
Accenture's Skills to Succeed Academy
The Accenture Skills to Succeed Academy is a free, online program that helps young people build their futures. Through a gamified, learn-by-doing approach, the Academy helps students gain the skills and confidence to make career decisions, find and get a job, and be successful in their jobs. The Skills to Succeed Academy was created in consultation with subject-matter experts and job seekers themselves to understand the jobseeking process – from unemployment to employment – and how to address barriers along the way. It features young characters from a variety of backgrounds and situations to make it realistic, relevant, and engaging for youth.

At this presentation, you will learn:
• Who Accenture is
• Why Accenture created the Skills to Succeed Academy
• What makes the Academy different from other career readiness programs
• How the Academy prepares students to make smart career decisions
• How teachers/advisors can use the Academy with students
• What your school/organization needs to do to gain access to our free, Skills to Succeed Academy
