Honestly just be ready to learn and be a sponge.
Don't confuse "Onboarding" and "training". You will get very little, actual training; however, you may:
1. Get a few days of company orientation
2. Get pointed toward some fairly mixed levels of detail web-based learnings that you can do by yourself.
3. Get pointed at random people's stockpile of old project materials and be told to "use as inspiriation" while you learn on the job.

If you are a campus higher, you will get trained. If you are an experienced hire, you will be expected to perform on projects on day one

I worked at Accenture before. There is a lot good I can say about the company, training and coaching wasn’t any of these things. Onboarding was short and nontechnical. There are resources out there, groups and communities within firm but you have to proactively request your supervisor that you want to learn
There is some structured training for campus hires but its pretty high level and better than no training at all. Don't expect the type of formal training that prepares you for your client work day 1. First, its impossible to delivery that type of training due to the nature of consulting g (every role/client/project is different) and also because the very nature of consulting demands that you learn mostly on the job. That being said, once you are on a project and know what you will be doing, there is a ton of training/resources available to help you deliver. Some of it may cut into your personal time but that is part of the job.
I started my career at Deloitte as a hire out of undergrad into their "Business Technology/Systems Analyst" program. I started out for two weeks in Dallas receiving core consulting basic training including interview training, MINTO/presentation skills, business cases, and other core consulting skills.
After the first two weeks in Dallas, my starting class then generally received 3 weeks of additional training in areas like SAP supply chain or Oracle finance, depending on what practice area and focus they were assigned to.
So basically starting in late July, we received 5 weeks of training and then after training, most of us were assigned non-billable shadow roles for the next 6-8 weeks. After those first three months of training and non-billable work, I shifted into a billable role on the project.
How much instruction or training you get on a project varies heavily by your assigned practice area and then what their mentality and investment is in learning & development. Either I was fortunate enough to learn by working side by side while in areas that were more invested in L&D, or I learned through manuals and videos when the team may didn't have the bandwidth or weren't as invested in developing junior colleagues.
Sink or swim.
Now, your day-to-day leads/managers may take you under their wing and mentor/teach you a lot, but that is of their own volition, not because there's anything structured or formal.
I didn’t get this until 3 years in, and it’s been night and day since.
This totally depends on role and level.
You’ll have to seek out the relevant trainings yourself and learn on the job. However if you don’t have the requirements/skills for the project you’ll be less competitive in being chosen for projects, which staff based on network.
Training? None
Maybe certs etc if you prove yourself to be good roi
