Graduates today. Consultants, shipping.

The Convergent Graduate Academy Program (CGAP) is CBT’s 9-month learning-and-grooming pathway — turning top graduates into industry-ready data & AI professionals, with real client projects from month two and a permanent career on the other side.

M0real projects
B0next batch

Starts as a graduate. Ends as a consultant.

Month-by-month, with real stakes. No bootcamp graveyard; no disconnected theory. By month two you’re on a real engagement under a senior lead.

M1–M2
Phase 01

Fundamentals

CBT-designed bootcamp. SQL, data modelling, Power BI, Python, consulting basics — built and delivered by the same senior consultants who ship for our enterprise clients.

M3–M5
Phase 02

Specialise

Pick a track — data engineering, BI, analytics, or applied AI. Deepen the stack, ship practice projects, sit certifications (we pay).

M6–M7
Phase 03

Live project

Embedded on a real CBT client engagement under a senior lead. Not a sandbox — production code, real data, real stakeholders.

M8–M9
Phase 04

Placement

Permanent placement on a CBT delivery team, or partner track with a sponsoring client. Either way, the program ends with a career, not a certificate.

Not a bootcamp. Not a bench. A craft.

Universities give you theory. Job boards give you a job. CGAP gives you a craft — structured learning, consulting skills, and senior mentorship, stitched into every month of the program.

01

Structured learning

A month-by-month curriculum designed by senior CBT consultants — grounded in real delivery methodology, not abstract coursework. You learn how we actually ship.

02

Consulting craft

Stakeholder management, discovery, scoping, pushback. The soft skills that separate a junior analyst from a trusted consultant — taught as hard skills, practised in real rooms.

03

Certification budget

We pay for Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Snowflake, Azure, Power BI — whatever the track needs. Training is a line item, not a stretch goal.

04

Mentorship + stipend

Paired with senior mentors from day one. Paid stipend from day one. Residential or hybrid — we flex around commute and circumstance, not the other way around.

When you’re in, we keep investing.

Placement isn’t the finish line. Once you’ve joined CBT and proven you can deliver, we sponsor a Georgia Tech academic credential as part of your long-term career development — compounding the program into a career, not capping it at a certificate.

To be clear: Georgia Tech isn’t a CGAP partner. It’s a post-placement benefit CBT funds for consultants who’ve earned it.
