Across our graduate programmes we look for a mix of competencies, some of which are outlined below.

Analytical Ability
Analytical skills can include being able to demonstrate an individual’s ability to gather and review information, provide key findings and solutions, draft improvements and draw concise conclusions.

Working in teams is part of project work. We are looking for individuals who as well as working strongly independent can adapt to different teams and help to foster a healthy collaborative environment.
Communication
Communication skills can encompass a variety of different factions such as client interaction, teamwork, interpersonal skills, adapting to new working teams and written communication skills. Be honest about where your skills lie and showcase this through examples.

Some of our programmes require technical skills, but others do not. Although technical skills aren’t a prerequisite for all of our programmes we are looking for a passion for the technology industry. You can showcase when and how your technology interest started and why you want to be part of this sector including trends and industry highlights.
We kindly ask that candidates share information whether they have a disability or long term health condition at the point of application to our recruitment team.

We offer a variety of initiatives designed to support the specific needs of persons with disabilities in their area. We encourage the provision of reasonable accommodations, modifications or adjustments to a job or the work environment to assure that a qualified individual with a disability has rights and privileges in employment equal to those of employees without disabilities, to create an adaptable work environment.
To help our people with disabilities obtain any accommodation they need to do their jobs, we recently developed a tool that allows people to request assistive technology online for themselves or on behalf of a colleague. We also offer a number of programmes that help our employees balance a successful career with a range of health and welfare initiatives benefits including flexible work arrangements. There are multiple support networks available for employees including our Mental Health Allies Programme which is comprised of 450+ trained people from across the UK business at all levels to act as advocates and ambassadors carrying our messages on resilience, openness, support throughout the UK.
