Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships at IBM are all about picking up skills for the workplace and embarking on a long and successful career. We have your professional development in mind from the day you join us as a permanent employee. Our apprenticeships range from Level 3 to Level 6 and each pathway gives you everything you need to start your career in the industry! You will get lots of exposure to set you up for a life long career. In addition to the day job there are plenty of opportunities to get involved in social activities and volunteering with other Apprentices, Students and Graduates.

Opportunities are located across England and salaries start at £20,000/annum.
Roles open periodically throughout the year.

Please note you can only apply to one role at a time.

Degree Apprenticeships

Degree Apprenticeships allow you to work and achieve a Bachelors Honours degree at the same time. You will be doing a real role at IBM and using what you learn in the workplace as part of your degree.

Apprentices on our Digital & Technology Solutions Degree Apprenticeship are currently studying at University of Exeter and Manchester Metropolitan University. Choice of University is made in response to the needs of our IBM businesses. Time at University is typically one day a week either on site or via online education and you will be required to work during University vacations.

Learn from the best! Apprenticeships at IBM are all about picking up new skills - and lots of them. It's three years' worth of brilliant training, loads of exposure and the kind of experience you simply couldn't get anywhere else. If you've decided to dive straight into the world of work after college (and if you're as fascinated as we are by technology and how it can change business), our Degree Apprenticeship Scheme is one of the best learning experiences out there.

In this role you will get Chartered Manager status from the Chartered Manager Institute. Our degree apprentices work in a variety of roles including Project Management, Sales, Business Analysis and Operations Management.

Degree apprentices develop a broad range of management skills including: operational strategy, project management, finance, sales & marketing, digital business & new technologies, stakeholder, customer & supplier management, communication, leadership and personal effectiveness.

There's an opportunity to experience University life and meet apprentices from other organisations. On our Pearson College rotational degree apprenticeship, some of our apprentices have the opportunity to experience a work placement at a different organisation.
What we look for:

You don't need to be studying business or technology A-levels, but you must have a keen interest in both.

You must have achieved at least 5 GCSEs (or equivalent) at Grade C/4 or above including Maths and English Language. We also except Level 2 Skills Tests as a GCSE equivalent in Maths and English.

You must also have achieved a minimum of 120 UCAS points

You will need to be mobile - base locations are across the UK (including but not limited to London, Hursley (near Winchester) and Portsmouth), however the work will be project based and typically you'll find yourself working at a client site which requires extensive travel and staying away from home during the week.

Our technology degree apprentices work in a variety of roles including Cyber Security and Technical Specialists, Project Managers, Prototype Developers, Service Managers, IT Architects, Business Analysts and Application Support. You will develop a broad range of technical and business skills, including: information systems, systems development, data, cyber security, business organisations, project management and computer & network infrastructure. You will also take modules to develop your skills in a technical specialism. There's an opportunity to experience University life and meet apprentices from other organisations during days at University and interactive learning sessions.

What Can I Do?

With the industry being so varied, it also means that so to are the available roles.

Broadly speaking, there are three areas to the sector - the creative side (those who generate and mould the advertising, usually specialised agencies), those who sell the resulting advertising methods (this could be in print, TV, online or 'out of house' (OOH); which encompasses the likes of hoardings etc; and those organisations that buy advertising.

Consequently, the increasing spectrum of jobs means that the advertising industry is looking for more diverse talent from a widening range of courses and backgrounds. You don't need to be good at drawing - although there is a role for you if you are! And the industry especially likes people who can see things from different angles - what they call diagonal thinkers. The types of jobs that are available in the sector span someone who is sketching out scamps for a campaign to scriptwriters and media buyers to producers.

Advertising Skills

Advertising apprenticeships enable you to gain skills. The whole industry works for a number of reasons - it might be to craft a brand image, communicate a change in available products, introduce something new, or to create a 'buzz' about the brand.

The skills you'll need will depend on what advertising role you want to progress. Is your ideal job in planning, creating or identifying where best to advertise? If you're interested in being behind a concept, then you'll need to be creative, quick thinking, team player and have an eye for detail. An understanding of what also grabs people's attention is a must across the industry, so it's good to have the ability to analyse what drives people and being able to spot trends.

You'll be a good communicator and it's important that you are brave enough to suggest those ideas which are firmly out of the box. Develop a campaign that captures everyone's imagination and is entirely original, and the results can be huge. On the opposite side though, you need to be resilient and be prepared for the fact that not all of your ideas might literally make it past the drawing board or what you thought might work, simply doesn't when it's put into action.

To help you determine what advertising job might be for you, have a look on the IPA (The institute of Practitioners in Advertising) website - there's a fun quiz that will help you.

Work experience and advertising apprenticeships will also help you decide. Try to find an opportunity to work on a live brief - for example during the Ideas Foundation summer school programmes or by taking part in the Future Creative workshops run by the Ideas Foundation. Look at The Ideas Foundation for details.

Check out world class creative work too - find out who has won the Cannes Lions awards or the D&AD pencils. Contact the agencies whose work you like and get in touch with the creative teams. Read magazine such as Campaign and the Drum or Marketing Week to get an idea of the sort of creative campaigns that are gaining attention.

And if you need physical examples of roles and how they work, check out the video created by the Ideas Foundation with the adam&eveDBB communications agency, which shows you some of the roles that go into making the famous John Lewis adverts. Included are some great careers tips from some of the creatives in the sector to help identify the right role for you. You can watch it at:
