Did you know we had 3 different software graduate programmes? With so much tech at Sky - Sky Glass, Sky Go, NOW, Sky Q (the list goes on) it’s no surprise that it can be hard to specialise from the get-go. So, we’ve simplified it for everyone, into one single programme.
If you want to be a software developer, automated tester or even specialise in mobile development in the future, then this programme is the one for you. Be behind the wheel and steer your software career in the direction you want, using our structured programme and endless tech opportunities.
What you’ll be doing
Our accelerated 7-month programme starts everyone in a dedicated 5-week bootcamp aimed at giving you all the functional training to get started. You’ll cover learning to create clean, well-structured and efficient code, agile delivery, continuous build and integration, security principles for software development, test driven development and much more.
Afterwards, we’ll move into educational projects where you undertake a piece of product delivery that have real life implications alongside our experts. You may work on a Sky Go project that looks at the way customers interact with their interface, or contribute to our streaming capabilities in the UK, Europe or the United States. Or work with VR and AI technologies. The possibilities are endless.
We’ll then add in additional training based on where your interest lies to pump you up; ready to move into a delivery team where you’ll continue your career as an Associate Developer or Tester.
Could you be in the team behind the next iteration of Sky Glass? Or Sky Go? Whatever your project, you’ll be in the driving seat from day one. Make an impact and get all the support you need to start your career. There’s only one place you’ll see action like this – and that’s Sky.
Why not hear from Courtney, one of our Software Graduates about her experience in her words.
