What is the Accelerate Business Technology 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 (3 months)
  • The BT Academy (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. You will then move into the Academy Period of the Accelerate Programme, which is a great training ground for those wanting to get exposure to technology-based consulting roles.

Business Technology is the largest and fastest growing practice at Capgemini Invent. We are a trusted technology consulting and transformation business partner to our clients’ Chief Digital Information Officers (CDIOs) and the global Capgemini Group.

What is Business Technology?

Business Technology comprises of 7 ’Tribes’:

  • Digital Factory
  • Digital Acceleration
  • IT Performance
  • Digital Architecture
  • Digital Trust & Security
  • Cloud Transformation
  • Digital Workplace

As Business Technology, our aim is to provide a stepping stone for our consultants of the future and equip you with the necessary skills and environments so that you can get the future you want.

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 roles, 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

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).

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.

Learning and Development

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:

  • 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

September 2022 Intake

“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.”

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.”
