Summary
Anthropic announces the creation of the Claude Frontier Academy, with an investment of $100 million to train 10,000 Frontier Deployed Engineers (FDEs) by the end of 2027, in order to remove a barrier to enterprise AI adoption. The programme combines in-person training with a 12-week residency on a real Claude project. The first cohorts will bring together engineers from Accenture, Bain, Capgemini, Deloitte, McKinsey, Morgan Stanley, Novo Nordisk and Commonwealth Bank of Australia. According to Draup, job postings for this role reached 1,404 over one year across five major firms, while overall postings fell by 24% across seven companies. Accenture has also launched its own programme to train nearly 30,000 professionals on Claude.
