What is the Intelligent Industry Pathway? 

The Intelligent Industry pathway of the Accelerate programme is designed for talented graduates passionate about leveraging a human-centric approach to transform and reinvent our ways of working, our connection with each other and our customers and suppliers.  

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 feed-back rich environment. 

Following your time in The Institute, you will join the Intelligent Industry Academy. Intelligent Industry is made up of 5 capability teams. A more in-depth view of the teams can be found below:

You’ll have the opportunity to work on large scale transformation programmes whereby you will ensure the smooth delivery of end-to-end projects by working flexibly, demonstrating intellectual capability, and delivering innovative solutions for clients. The day-to-day tasks can vary from engagement with senior stakeholders, conducting analysis of data or business requirements, designing business strategies through to delivering workshops and collaboratively working in cross-functional teams to drive continuous business performance improvement.

“The Accelerate Programme has connected me with a broad and supportive network – from a buddy who’s already been through the programme, to a people manager who actively guides my development. It’s laid a strong foundation of core consulting skills that are applicable across projects, while also offering specialist learning opportunities. Highlights include the Supply Chain Academy, which provides a comprehensive view of the end-to-end supply chain, and the Scrum Master qualification, which introduces key principles for project delivery. From day one, you feel genuinely part of the Intelligent Industry community.”

Training has spanned BPMN, intelligent automation, and vendor-led process mining.
