Technology Degree Apprenticeship 2027

We may close applications earlier if this role is filled, so we encourage early applications.

The Role at a Glance

Launch your tech career with a Graduate Apprenticeship at one of the world’s leading consulting and technology firms. You’ll help build and deliver smart solutions – from custom apps to full-scale platforms. You’ll get hands-on with the latest tools, help clients bring their ideas to life, and explore exciting new technologies.

As part of the team, you’ll use your coding skills to design and develop applications and play a key role in spotting and fixing security risks to keep systems safe from cyber threats.

Life as a Technology Graduate Apprentice

As a Technology Apprentice, you’ll be at the forefront of innovation using both current and emerging technologies to help shape what’s next. You’ll design and deliver custom-built solutions and play a hands-on role in every phase of development: from concept and coding to testing and deployment.

You won’t be limited to one path. You’ll explore a wide range of roles across applications, cloud, infrastructure, AI & Data, DevOps, modern engineering, technology architecture, quality assurance, and software engineering.  With every project, you'll work in different industries, tackle new challenges, and broaden your technical expertise while discovering where your strengths and interests lie.

Where you’ll work

Accenture values collaboration, bringing people together at least three times a week at client sites or one of our UK offices. You will be required to be in your assigned office for a minimum of three days per week and must live within commuting distance to make this possible. Project work may also take you to client sites across the UK, sometimes more than three days a week, depending on business needs.

What you’ll need

To join our Technology Graduate Apprenticeship, you’ll need:

• Scottish Highers (BBCC) or 96 UCAS points or equivalent 
• SCQF Level 6+ qualification across ‘A’ levels or equivalent.

It doesn’t matter what subjects you’ve studied.  What matters most is that you have a genuine passion for technology and your ability to demonstrate this through your studies, extracurriculars, or work experience.  An interest in modern technologies such as AI, Cloud and Data will be useful. Programming experience is helpful, but not essential as we’ll support you in in building these skills along the way.

Apprentices who thrive in our programme often share some key qualities:

• A strong desire to learn and grow their tech and commercial skills.
• The ability to adapt quickly and stay resilient in fast-paced environments.
• Confident communication, strong teamwork, and fresh perspectives.
• A curiosity about AI-assisted coding tools and an interest in how they’re changing the way software gets built
• Strong organisational skills to effectively balance work and study

If you're motivated, eager to learn, and ready to make a real impact, this could be the perfect opportunity to launch your career in tech.

Your Development Path

Once you’ve completed your initial training, you’ll be ready to take on your first role. Project placements vary depending on business needs, and we encourage apprentices to explore a range of opportunities. 

Typical roles on this programme may include:

• Full Stack Engineer
• Business Analyst & Delivery Management
• Data Engineer
• Platform Engineer
• Quality Engineer

Throughout your apprenticeship and beyond, you’ll be supported with ongoing training, coaching, and guidance to help you grow your skills and shape your career. You’ll also work across a variety of projects, giving you the chance to explore the breadth of what we do, apply what you are learning at university and discover where your strengths and interests lie.

On completion of your apprenticeship, you’ll be aligned to a specialised business area that reflects your ambitions. From that point on, you’ll continue to build expertise, take on more responsibility, and shape a career path that is uniquely yours.

What You’ll Learn

You’ll receive a blend of structured learning, hands-on experience, and tailored apprenticeship training to help you grow into a confident technologist. From day one, you’ll be supported by mentors, coaches, and a dedicated Accenture team focused on your development and wellbeing.

• You will start your journey with some core training, teaching you the skills (including GenAI) that you’ll need to be a successful analyst at Accenture 
• You will undergo role-specific training to prepare you for your first client role. This can include delivery lifecycle, specific technologies and platforms, core programming languages, and the essential developer toolkit.   
• You will get the opportunity to gain industry recognised accreditations in areas such as Cloud and Technology Platform certifications.

You’ll get access to:

• Core Apprentice Training: Our core learning programme designed to help new joiners build confidence and skills across areas from delivery best practice, how to work with clients, and programme specific skills. 
• Project-based learning: You’ll work on real challenges for real clients and with support from experienced teams, gain confidence and knowledge on the job.
• Technology Exposure: Depending on your specific project, you’ll get exposure to a wide range of different technologies and systems and receive training to understand how to use as well as help implement them. 
• Apprenticeship Training: You’ll study towards a BSc (Hons) Software Development Degree through Glasgow Caledonian University for 4 years. You’ll have one day a week dedicated to university studies and four days working on client projects—applying what you learnt in real time. On successful completion, you’ll have the opportunity to move into a permanent role at Accenture.
• Professional Development: We will invest in your continuous growth through our extensive learning portal, offering curated pathways, classroom-based and self-paced courses, and on-demand resources to keep your skills sharp throughout your apprenticeship.
