What is the Business Technology Accelerate Programme Pathway?

The Business Technology pathway of the Accelerate programme is designed for talented graduates who are passionate about digital and are seeking a career where they can combine technology and creative design to help clients solve complex business challenges.

The Accelerate Programme consists of 2 parts:

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. You will then move into the Academy Period of the Accelerate Programme, which is a great training ground for those wanting to get exposure to technology-based consulting roles.
