What to expect as a Technical degree apprentice
Our Technical degree apprentices will typically work in roles such as; Software Development, Software Engineering and Software Testing. These roles consist of designing, developing, maintaining and testing software that we, or our clients, have developed.
Due to the nature of our business, you work on ‘projects’. This means you have the opportunity to work across a wide range of roles, industries and locations – there is no ‘typical day’. The best thing about joining us is that while you may start in one area, the opportunity to move internally is huge, so you can take control of your career from your first day.
Who are we looking for?
We want to hear from problem solvers, creative thinkers and future dreamers, who are passionate about technology.
No matter your skill level, we are always on the look-out for driven individuals who have a hunger to learn, explore and grow in the fast-moving world of tech.
