Accelerate Graduate Programme - Business Technology

What is the Business Technology Accelerate Programme Pathway?

The Business Technology (BT) 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 BT 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. Please refer to the relevant entry route webpage further details on team structure and information on alignment with your skills and interests.

Ideally, you will have some (or all) of the following:

Learning and Development

When you enter the Business Technology Academy, a heavy emphasis is placed 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 role, you can choose from a suite of accreditations including:

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.
