全球首家此类学院旨在培养“前沿部署工程师”，其技能标准与Anthropic自身工程师的标准一致，首期学员来自埃森哲、贝恩咨询、凯捷、澳大利亚联邦银行、德勤、麦肯锡、摩根士丹利、诺和诺德等机构。

今天，我们推出Claude Frontier Academy（Claude前沿学院），以解决AI落地过程中最紧迫的问题之一：人才问题。在1亿美元承诺资金的支持下，Anthropic的目标是在2027年底前培训10,000名前沿部署工程师（FDE）。来自埃森哲、贝恩咨询、凯捷、澳大利亚联邦银行、德勤、麦肯锡、摩根士丹利和诺和诺德的工程师组成了首批学员。

每家企业都在竞相将AI引入其组织，但具备在真实商业环境中使AI发挥作用技能的人才已成为最难寻找的资源。在我们合作的公司内部，一小群技能深厚的人员推动了AI产出中不成比例的巨大份额。该学院是AI公司中的首创，基于我们将Claude部署到全球最大企业及其服务的专业服务机构的自身经验而构建。

“一支由高素质、高能动性人员组成的小团队，若具备正确的技能、能够访问Claude，并深刻理解其业务运作方式，就能彻底改变整个公司。难点在于培养这样深度的人才，即拥有最高水平AI流利度的工程师，他们能将Claude从概念转化为生产系统中的实际系统，并将其转化为更快的流程和新的产品与服务。没有任何一家AI公司以如此深度的投入在其客户和合作伙伴内部开发此类人才。Claude Frontier Academy以我们自身工程师的学习方式来培训人员，我们希望毕业生能够树立企业内部构建AI的标准。”——Anthropic全球业务发展与合作伙伴关系负责人Steve Corfield

首个项目旨在培养10,000名前沿部署工程师

学院的首个项目“前沿部署工程师驻场计划”遵循建立专业知识的医学模式。医生向执业医师学习，在真实病例上进行训练，并在独立执业前接受评估。同样，FDE驻场计划的工程师向从业者学习，在逼真的案例上进行练习，并在获得认证前对其工作成果进行评估。其目标是构建改变业务流程的代理系统（agentic systems），从更快、重新设计的流程到新产品和服务。

该项目面向具备扎实基础、拥有使用LLM构建记录、有帮助他人采用AI经验以及习惯解决其业务最重要问题的动手型软件工程师。各组织提名其最优秀的工程师，每位工程师在返回时都将负责领导一个指定的Claude项目。不要求之前有构建AI代理的经验。

工程师们首先参加由Anthropic工程师和持证讲师主持的多天线下课程。他们通过模拟的企业部署流程，从选择合适的用例、通过安全审查到最终移交，最后完成对新场景的分级实践考核。通过者将获得“Claude驻场工程师”徽章，并进入为期12周的驻场阶段，在此期间，他们在Anthropic工程师的支持下，在其所在组织内领导一个真实的Claude用例，并从其同侪群体中学习如何构建系统。在12周结束时会对工程师进行再次评估，通过者将获得“Claude前沿部署工程师”徽章，预计首批获得者将于2027年初获得。

首批学员组现已开始运行

学员组正在旧金山、纽约和伦敦运行。该项目将逐步扩大规模，到2027年底达到10,000名工程师。参与方式为提名制；各组织可向其Anthropic客户经理或合作伙伴客户经理咨询是否符合资格。

首批学员组包括领先的企业和咨询公司

“在埃森哲，前沿部署工程师将人工智能愿景转化为企业级影响力，他们作为多学科团队的一员，深入客户工作流程，将人工智能概念工程化为可规模化、受管控的生产就绪型解决方案。Anthropic 构建驻场项目的理念与我们对这一角色的思考方式一致：通过模拟企业部署来检验判断力，而非孤立地考察技术技能。加入 Claude 前沿学院将加深我们工程师对 Claude 的专业知识，并加速我们为客户端创造的价值。”

“建立深厚且注重实操的人工智能工程能力，对于帮助客户从实验阶段迈向规模化影响至关重要。前沿部署工程师驻场项目将为我们的工程师提供与 Anthropic 直接合作、精进专业技能的机会，并将这些经验带入我们与客户的合作中。”

“我从客户那里听到的反馈并非关于认证数量或培训规模，而是关于如何 firsthand（亲身）解决为客户创造价值的现实世界问题。通过与 Anthropic 自身工程师并肩工作，凯捷正在投资并构建客户一眼就能识别的交付卓越能力。”

“人工智能正在改变我们为客户构建、交付和创新的方式。我们的工程师每天都在使用人工智能工具，过去一年内我们的团队产生的代码变更量高达三倍。前沿部署工程师驻场项目让他们深入其中，通过与前沿领域的同行一起进行实操，体验构建、安全加固和发布的过程。我们正在今天构建明天的银行，而该项目为我们的团队提供了工具和专业知识，以便为客户工程化打造最佳产品。”

“在企业级规模上部署人工智能需要具备专业技能的人才，他们能够推动项目从最初的需求分析、安全审查直至实际采用。Claude 前沿学院的 FDE 驻场项目使我们能够扩展我们在实地测试过的这一学科，这也是我们兴奋能成为首批学员的一部分的原因，我们将工程师提前引入，以扩充我们已准备好使用 Claude 的人才库。”

“麦肯锡与 Anthropic 之间的这次合作旨在利用前沿人工智能为客户创造更卓越的业务成果。我们的技术人员将前沿人工智能专业知识、行业深度以及价值创造思维带入客户工作。驻场项目确立了他们为服务客户业务目标而应用 Claude 的标准，让我们的世界级人才在与 Anthropic 工程师一起学习前沿技术的过程中获得经验。Claude 前沿学院和 FDE 驻场项目扩展了我们的技术人员工具箱，帮助他们亲手解决客户最棘手的问题。”

“人工智能已经在改变我们在诺和诺德发现和开发药物的方式。随着 Claude Science 融入我们的研发工作流程、Anthropic 的前沿模型应用于软件开发、药物发现中的实验室闭环研究，以及 Anthropic 工程师与我们的科学家并肩工作，我们看到了当前沿人工智能与深厚科学专业知识相结合时所取得的成果。我们很高兴加入 Claude 前沿学院和 FDE 驻场项目，让我们的工程师获得与 Anthropic 最成功部署背后相同的实操培训和专业知识，从而共同更快地将下一代药物带给患者。”

Claude 合作伙伴网络

Claude 前沿学院建立在 Claude 合作伙伴网络的基础之上，在该网络中，46,000 家公司的专业人士已获得超过 175,000 项 Claude 认证，近 4,000 人完成了 Basecamp 项目——这是一个沉浸式项目，教授的内容与我们应用人工智能团队入职培训时所学的课程相同。Claude 前沿学院面向将引领这项工作的人员，而培训 10,000 名前沿部署工程师只是众多步骤中的第一步。

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.

Today we are launching Claude Frontier Academy to solve one of the most pressing issues in AI implementation: talent. Backed by a $100 million commitment, Anthropic aims to train 10,000 Frontier Deployed Engineers (FDEs) by the end of 2027. Engineers from Accenture, Bain, Capgemini, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Deloitte, McKinsey, Morgan Stanley and Novo Nordisk are in the first cohorts.

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. Inside the companies we work with, a small group of deeply skilled people drives an outsized share of what AI delivers. The Academy is the first of its kind from an AI company, built from our own work deploying Claude inside the world’s largest enterprises and the professional services organizations that serve them.

“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 hard part is building that depth of talent, engineers with the highest level of AI fluency who can take Claude from an idea to a system in production and turn it into faster processes and new products and services. No AI company has invested in developing that talent inside its customers and partners at this depth. Claude Frontier Academy trains people the way our own engineers learn, and we want those who graduate to set the standard for how AI gets built inside a business.” – Steve Corfield, Global Head of Business Development and Partnerships at Anthropic

The first program trains 10,000 Frontier Deployed Engineers

The Academy’s first program, the Frontier Deployed Engineer Residency, follows the medical model for building expertise. Doctors learn from practicing physicians, train on real cases, and are assessed before they practice alone. Likewise, FDE Residency engineers learn from practitioners, practice on realistic cases, and are assessed on their work before they earn the credential. The goal is agentic systems that change how a business runs, from faster, redesigned processes to new products and services.

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. Organizations nominate their strongest engineers, each arriving with a named Claude project to lead when they return. Prior experience building AI agents isn’t required.

Engineers start with a multi-day in-person program with Anthropic engineers and licensed instructors. They work through a simulated enterprise deployment, from the right use case through security review to handover, and finish with a graded practical on a new scenario. Those who pass earn the Claude Resident Engineer badge and move into the 12-week residency, where they lead a real Claude use case at their own organization, supported by Anthropic engineers and learning from their cohort as they build. 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 first cohorts are running now

Cohorts are running in San Francisco, New York and London. The program will grow toward 10,000 engineers by the end of 2027. Participation is by nomination; organizations can ask their Anthropic account team or Partner Account Manager whether they’re eligible.

Leading enterprises and consulting firms are in the first cohorts

“At Accenture, forward deployed engineers translate AI ambition into enterprise-wide impact, working inside client workflows as part of multidisciplinary teams that engineer AI concepts into production-ready, governed solutions built to scale. Anthropic built the residency the same way we think about the role: judgment tested against a simulated enterprise deployment, not technical skills in isolation. Joining Claude Frontier Academy will deepen our engineers’ Claude expertise and accelerate the value we deliver for our clients.”

“Building deep, hands-on AI engineering capability is critical to helping clients move from experimentation to impact at scale. The Frontier Deployed Engineer Residency will give our engineers the opportunity to sharpen their expertise working directly with Anthropic and bring that experience to our work with clients.”

“What I’m hearing from clients isn’t about certification counts or training volume; it’s about knowing firsthand how to solve real-world problems that create value to our clients. By working side by side with Anthropic’s own engineers, Capgemini is investing in and building the delivery excellence that clients recognize immediately.”

“AI is transforming the way we build, deliver and innovate for customers. Our engineers use AI tools every day, and our teams have produced up to 3x more code changes in the past year. The Frontier Deployed Engineer Residency takes them deeper, with hands-on experience building, securing and shipping alongside peers at the frontier. We are building tomorrow’s bank today, and this program gives our teams the tools and expertise to engineer the best possible products for our customers.”

“AI deployment at enterprise scale requires skilled people who can drive a project from first requirements through security review to real adoption. The Claude Frontier Academy’s FDE Residency enables us to scale a discipline we’ve already tested in the field, which is why we are excited to be part of the inaugural cohort, bringing our engineers in early to extend our bench of Claude-ready talent.”

“This collaboration between McKinsey and Anthropic is about leveraging frontier AI to create superior business outcomes for clients. Our technologists bring frontier AI expertise, sector depth and a value-creation mindset to our client work. The Residency sets the bar for how they apply Claude in service of our clients’ business goals, giving our world-class talent experience learning frontier techniques alongside Anthropic’s engineers. The Claude Frontier Academy and FDE Residency extend our technologists’ toolkit, helping them solve our clients’ toughest problems hands-on-keys.”

“AI is already changing how we discover and develop medicines at Novo. With Claude Science in our R&D workflows, Anthropic’s frontier models in our software development, lab in the loop research in drug discovery, and Anthropic engineers working alongside our scientists, we have seen what is possible when frontier AI meets deep scientific expertise. We’re excited to join the Claude Frontier Academy and the FDE Residency, giving our engineers the same hands on training and expertise behind Anthropic’s most successful deployments, so together we can bring the next generation of medicines to patients faster.”

The Claude Partner Network

Claude Frontier Academy builds on the Claude Partner Network , where professionals across 46,000 firms have earned more than 175,000 Claude certifications and nearly 4,000 people have completed Basecamp, an immersive program that teaches the same curriculum our Applied AI teams receive when they onboard. Claude Frontier Academy is for the people who will lead the work, and training 10,000 Frontier Deployed Engineers is the first step of many.
