Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
As an Apprentice IT Consultant, you’ll work alongside experienced consultants and gain hands-on experience in business, finance and technology while working towards a relevant qualification (such as a Level 3 or Level 4 apprenticeship in IT, Business Analysis, or Finance; this list is not exhaustive).
Your day-to-day might include:
- Supporting consultants on live projects for major international clients (see who we work with on our website)
- Learning how to configure and document software systems like Oracle and SAP
- Helping create and update internal training materials and client guides
- Providing first-line support to clients with the guidance of senior team members
- Researching global tax trends and contributing to blog posts or newsletters (we’ll teach you how!)
- Gaining the opportunity (once trained) to visit client sites in the UK or abroad
- Every day is different- you’ll be learning new skills, building confidence, and developing a clear career path in technology consulting
