Anthropic invests $100 million in training deployed AI engineers
Anthropic is investing $100 million in a program to train engineers from other companies to deploy AI tools at work.
The first groups have started in New York and San Francisco, with participants from firms including Accenture, Bain and Novo Nordisk.
The role involves helping companies use AI to change how their work gets done.
Anthropic says strong candidates understand agentic AI systems, solve problems, communicate well, have engineering experience and are curious.
Accepted engineers attend a four-day training intensive, take a practical test and then spend 12 weeks applying Claude tools at their own companies.
Anthropic aims to train 10,000 people through the program by the end of 2027.
The company hopes the training will help customers get more value from AI and set a high standard for AI skills.
