A six-week digital leadership and transformation accelerator for experienced professionals who need targeted digital, data, AI and transformation capability to compete for realistic senior-management-entry or established-management roles.
The Senior Digital Accelerator is a six-week employment-focused route for experienced professionals whose existing career evidence is credible but whose digital, data, AI, transformation or technology-enabled leadership capability needs to be updated, demonstrated and repositioned for the current labour market.
Who it is for
This route is intended for experienced professionals, managers, senior specialists and suitable senior-management-entry candidates. It is not a conversion programme for inexperienced candidates and it does not attempt to create seniority in six weeks.
What you will develop
- Current digital, data, AI and transformation capability connected to prior professional experience.
- Stronger evidence for leadership, change, programme delivery, governance, stakeholder engagement and technology-enabled decision-making.
- Executive-level portfolio and recruitment evidence shaped around realistic role and person specifications.
- Practical outputs through a bounded transformation challenge and, where available through the relevant delivery arrangement, genuine work-experience activity.
- Preparation for recruiter conversations, presentations, case assessments, panel interviews and other genuine recruitment processes.
Entry and progression
Entry depends on evidence of meaningful prior professional responsibility and a diagnostic confirming that targeted upskilling is realistic within the six-week route. Candidates who require extensive occupational retraining should use a deeper RDE pathway instead. Employment, interviews and employer opportunities remain subject to external recruitment decisions and are not guaranteed.
After the programme
Eligible participants can continue into structured senior career-transition and employment support for up to 180 days.
