What is the Analytics and Artificial Intelligence Accelerate Programme Pathway?

 

The Analytics and AI (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 A&AI 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 Analytics & AI Academy. Please refer to the relevant entry route webpage further details on team structure and information on alignment with your skills and interests.
