Deadline: Unspecified
Applications are open for the Frontier Fellowship Programme 2026. The Frontier Fellowship is a free 12-week, placement-first programme training women as AI Deployment Consultants and placing them directly into roles in UK SMEs.
The Frontier Fellowship is not a classroom course. It is a structured, employer-validated programme that takes you from zero tech experience to a paid role as an AI Deployment Consultant in 12 weeks. Every learner who completes the Fellowship walks away with a portfolio of real AI workflows, a four-week live project on their CV, and direct connections to employers actively hiring.
Programme Phases
- Phase 1 – Training: Learn to use AI tools that businesses are actually using right now, Claude, Copilot & ChatGPT. Build workflows. Map business processes. Understand how to walk into an organisation, identify where AI can help, and design a solution. Every session is practical. Nothing is theoretical.
- Phase 2 – Live SME Placement: Join a team of four or five Fellows and deliver a real AI project for a real UK business. Not a simulation. Not a case study. A defined scope, a named client, weekly milestones, and a signed deliverable at the end. This is the work that gets you hired.
- Phase 3 – Career Support: Interview coaching, CV preparation, confidence-building, and direct introductions to employers. Insight Days inside blue chip anchor employers. Six months of continued support through the Frontier Fellowship alumni network after you graduate.
