What is the Accelerate Analytics & AI Pathway?

The Analytics and Artificial Intelligence (A&AI) pathway of the Accelerate programme is designed for talented graduates who are passionate about data strategy, data science and data analytics. In A&AI, we develop and apply technical skills to help clients solve complex business challenges. 

The Accelerate Programme consists of 2 parts:  

  • The Institute (circa 3 months) 
  • The Academy (circa 18 months) 

Your first 3 months of the Accelerate Programme will be spent within The Institute, where you will learn core consulting skills and gain a broad understanding of everything we do at Capgemini Invent within a feedback rich environment. 

Following your time in The Institute, you will join the Analytics and AI Academy. The team structure of the Analytics and AI Academy is as follows:
