Inside the companies Anthropic work with, a small group of deeply skilled people drives an outsized share of what AI delivers.
Key facts

- Engineers are assessed again at the end of the 12 weeks, and those who pass earn the Claude Frontier Deployed Engineer badge, with the first expected in early 2027
- The program will grow toward 10,000 engineers by the end of 2027
Summary
The first-of-its-kind Academy trains Frontier Deployed Engineers using the same standard of skills as Anthropic’s own engineers, starting with cohorts from Accenture, Bain, Capgemini, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Deloitte, McKinsey, Morgan Stanley, Novo Nordisk and others. Every enterprise is racing to bring AI into its organization, but the people with the skills to make it work inside a real business have become the hardest talent to find. “A small team of high-agency people with the right skills, access to Claude, and a deep understanding of how their business runs can transform an entire company. The Academy’s first program, the Frontier Deployed Engineer Residency, follows the medical model for building expertise. The program is for hands-on software engineers with strong fundamentals, a record of building with LLMs, experience helping others adopt AI, and a habit of tackling their business’s most important problems.
