Work a full-time job while training to become a Software Engineer, IT Support Specialist or Data Scientist at Meta in the UK.
What is the Apprenticeship program?
The Apprenticeship program in London is a paid 18-month program which allows participants to work a full-time job while also completing a skills development program. Apprentices who successfully finish the program will be considered for a full-time employment opportunity.
The Apprenticeship program is an earn-while-you-learn program for individuals who are interested in software engineering or IT support, and who want an alternative to formal university education. During the program, apprentices will spend 80% of their time working on real projects that help redefine how the world connects, and 20% of their time receiving formal training in the technical and soft skills needed for the job. At the beginning of the program, apprentices will be paired with managers and mentors who are committed to their success. These relationships will provide daily support and connection to the Meta community and culture.
Who can apply
The Apprenticeship program is designed for school leavers, second jobbers and career changers who are not in full-time education, but are interested in gaining a career in technology. If you enjoy solving problems, have a passion for tech, and are eager to learn and be challenged, this program is for you.
How to apply
Applications for the Apprenticeship program typically open in January and are accepted on a rolling basis until the program is filled. The Apprenticeship begins every September on an 18-month contract. Begin your application for either the software engineering apprenticeship or IT support apprenticeship below.
