A six-week, employment-focused digital accelerator for suitable entry-level and junior candidates who need targeted digital capability, practical evidence and vacancy-led career preparation for modern digital roles.
The Junior Digital Accelerator is RDE's six-week employment-focused route for suitable entry-level and junior candidates who need targeted digital capability, practical evidence and stronger preparation for current vacancies. It is designed for faster progression than RDEs deeper academy programmes and uses diagnostic evidence to focus learning on realistic occupational pathways.
What you will develop
- Digital workplace capability, professional communication and practical work readiness.
- Core exposure to business analysis, project delivery, Agile working, data, reporting, AI and digital operations.
- Pathway evidence aligned to areas such as Business & Change, Projects & Operations, Data & Reporting, and Digital Business & AI Operations.
- Portfolio-ready evidence through bounded practical assignments and, where available through the relevant delivery arrangement, employer challenge or work-experience activity.
- CV, application, interview and recruitment preparation based on genuine vacancies and realistic junior-role targets.
Entry and progression
RDE uses an initial diagnostic to assess readiness, occupational potential, digital gaps and support needs. Candidates who need a deeper programme may be redirected to another RDE pathway. Employer interviews, work experience and employment outcomes depend on external opportunities and hiring decisions and are not guaranteed.
After the programme
Eligible participants can continue into structured employment support for up to 180 days, including targeted vacancy activity, evidence refinement and career-transition support.
