The Accelerate Programme

The Accelerate Programme is Capgemini Invent UK's award-winning graduate development programme. Over approximately 19 to 21 months, you'll progress from Associate Consultant to Consultant through a blend of structured learning, coaching, mentoring, and hands-on client experience. Following an initial three-week induction and a twelve-week consulting training programme delivered by the Institute, you'll move into your chosen pathway, applying your skills on live client projects while benefiting from ongoing development, regular feedback, and a strong graduate community. Travel to client sites may be required, and candidates should live within reasonable commuting distance of their chosen office location.

Hybrid working:

The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

Your role:

Once you have completed your training with the institute, you will enter the Academy, where you can apply learnings from the Institute to live client engagements. Day-to-day activities can vary depending on the type and length of a project.

Typical tasks include:

• Analysing data or business processes and requirements to identify opportunities for improvement.
• Gathering information on business operations through stakeholder interviews and workshops.
