Technology work experience

Step inside. Ignite your future in tech.


Working in tech. What’s it really like?

Forget about work shadowing and making tea – this is your chance to dive into real tech projects. You’ll get hands on with real-world technology projects and see, up close, what it really takes to shape the technology that serves over 25 million customers.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or just curious about a career in this area, our programme will give you the insight you’re looking for.

Applications for the technology work experience programme are now closed.

What you can expect

Spend a week in our offices with us and get involved in some exciting activities.

You’ll hear from tech experts across the team and try out the kind of tasks they tackle every day. You’ll get to work with your fellow students on your own project, coming up with innovative solutions to a problem. And you’ll take part in workshops focused on CV writing, interview prep, and looking after your health and wellbeing.

Last year, students gave our programme 4.8 out of 5 and 85% said they’d consider working for us in the future. We’re committed to making your experience even better.

“I learned so many different skills on the programme, while having a lot of fun. I liked that it felt like a real work environment. I would definitely do it again.”
