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:

  • 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 Business Technology Academy. The team structure of the Business Technology Academy is as follows:

The Focus of Your Role

As an Associate Consultant you will have the opportunity to work on large scale transformation programmes. You will ensure the smooth delivery of end-to-end projects by working flexibly, demonstrating intellectual capability, and delivering innovative solutions for clients.

Your day-to-day tasks can vary from:

  • Defining transformation strategies
  • Managing positive client relationships
  • Supporting agile delivery
  • Understanding how complex services work in the wider context of a client’s business

What you will need

We are interested to hear from you if you have experience working in the industries we operate in and are keen to start a career in an environment where you can drive change.

For all routes, we welcome applicants with the following skills:

  • Natural curiosity about how technology can solve business and world problems
  • An understanding that users are at the heart of great digital products.
  • A passion and natural talent for emerging technology
  • Familiarity with current technology and trends

At Capgemini Invent, although academics form part of our overall hiring decision, we do not select candidates purely on academic performance. We will assess your suitability for a role using several tools including video interviewing and assessment centres (all currently being held virtually).

Learning & Development

When you enter the Business Technology Academy, there is a heavy emphasis on your development and being able to learn a variety of skills in a multitude of environments. 

During the programme you will benefit from wider learning opportunities and depending on your chosen route, you can choose from a suite of accreditations including:

  • User-centred design (Google UX, NN/g, Interaction Design Foundations)
  • Cloud (Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure)
  • Digital Workplace (Microsoft Power Platform, Change Management and Service Adoption)
  • Digital Security Fundamentals (CompTIA)
  • Technology Business Management
  • Digital and Business Architecture
  • Agile @ Scale (Scrum Master, Product Owner)
  • Business and soft skills (user empathy, design thinking, emotional intelligence)

What you can expect

Working alongside a world-class team with a wealth of consulting and industry experience, you will begin to create relationships across the organisation and acquire a foundation of consulting skills, tools, and methodologies to help you accelerate your career. You will be part of a project team, building trust-based relationships at the heart of a client’s organisation, helping them change the way they work and transforming their business to achieve their goals. You’ll get early responsibility and build your skills through interesting and challenging work.

“My time in the Institute offered me range of experiences and opportunities to grow. Joining a graduate scheme straight out of University can be daunting however, the structure of the Accelerate programme allows you to bond with other Associate Consultants, take time to understand the business, network within your tribe, as well as develop on your core consulting skills in preparation for client work. Through a range of training workshops, certification opportunities and institute projects, it has been an invaluable fast tracked learning experience for me.”

“On the Capgemini Invent Accelerate Programme, learning and development is at the heart of everything we do. Over the last 13 months I have had the freedom to choose from a huge selection of training courses and industry-recognised certifications to develop in the areas that I am personally passionate about. Within the BT academy we are able to work across a number of different sectors getting involved on client projects from implementing IT cost optimisation to larger strategy transformation pieces. I have also been able to get involved in internal work ranging from design coaching to planning graduate events, giving me the opportunity to meet people from across the business.”
