Over the course of the programme which is up to 27 months, you’ll:

• Complete up-front learning and project activities to get you ready for your first placement
• Work collaboratively in an agile environment to deliver technology solutions that meet the needs of our customers and colleagues in the most efficient, cost-effective and reliable way
• Build the technical skills needed as you move through your placements across Technology to become a highly capable software engineer
• Gain experience in all aspects of the development lifecycle
• Develop the confidence and influencing skills to innovate and challenge the status quo.
