Accenture, Deloitte, McKinsey and Novo Nordisk are sending their junior engineers on a programme modelled on a medical internship, comprising a practical examination followed by a 12-week placement.
Anthropic is launching the Claude Frontier Academy, a $100 million training program that aims to train 10,000 "Frontier Deployed Engineers" by the end of 2027. These engineers must be able to take an AI project from prototype to production within their own company. The first classes come from Accenture, Bain, Capgemini, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Deloitte, McKinsey, Morgan Stanley and Novo Nordisk.
A course inspired by the training of doctors
The companies designate their best profiles, who arrive with a specific Claude project to carry out. The course begins with several days of face-to-face work with Anthropic engineers: a complete simulation of a deployment in a company, from the choice of use case to the security review, then a practical test graded on a new scenario. Those admitted obtain a "Claude Resident Engineer" badge and then go on to a 12-week residency, during which they manage a real project at their employer with the support of Anthropic.
The publisher justifies the initiative by the shortage of profiles capable of integrating AI into real business processes, which it believes has become the main obstacle to deployments. Previous experience in building agents is not required, but a solid practice in software development and LLMs is.
