Step into the world of People at Sky

Where Better Begins - Early Careers
A career at Sky is where better begins.

Join our People team and help shape the experiences, culture and opportunities that enable our people and business to thrive. You’ll work on meaningful projects, collaborate with teams across Sky and gain first-hand experience of how we attract, develop, reward and support our people.

You could join a team working in:

  • Talent Acquisition and Development – Help us attract, develop and grow the talent Sky needs for the future through recruitment, learning and talent programmes.
  • People Partnering and Projects – Work on people initiatives and business projects that help teams, leaders and the wider organisation perform at their best.
  • People Experience, Digital and AI – Help shape simpler, smarter people experiences through technology, data and AI.
  • People Data and Analytics – Work with data, workforce intelligence and AI to generate insights that help Sky make smarter decisions and build a more future-ready organisation.

Impress us, and you could secure a place on our People Graduate Programme starting in September 2028.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll get hands-on experience of how our People team helps Sky and our people thrive. The work you take on will depend on the team you join, but you could find yourself:

  • Designing programmes that build the skills Sky needs for the future.
  • Shaping learning, development and career opportunities for our people.
  • Supporting experiences and initiatives that help us attract and retain great talent.
  • Helping to build an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.
  • Using data and insights to help solve real business and people challenges.

Along the way, you’ll work with colleagues across Sky, bring your own ideas and perspectives, and gain experience working on real projects.

What we’re looking for

The one essential requirement is that you're currently studying for an undergraduate degree in any subject, and in your penultimate year.

Skills that will help you thrive:

  • Curious and interested in people, culture and what makes businesses successful.
  • A strong communicator who enjoys building relationships and working with others.
  • Comfortable using information and data to solve problems.
  • Proactive and willing to take ownership and look for ways to improve things.
  • A collaborative team player who enjoys working with different people.
  • A creative thinker who brings fresh ideas and different perspectives.

Right to work - Please be aware that Sky do not offer sponsorship for this role, employment is contingent on you having the valid right to work in the UK /Ireland for the full duration of the programme.

Following the internship, anyone who is selected for the Graduate programme offers will be conditional on having the full right to work in the UK/Ireland for the duration of the Graduate scheme. You can find information on the length of our programmes on the website.

Your application journey

Here’s what to expect, step by step:

Step 1 – Apply Online

Tell us a bit about yourself — your details, your degree, and anything else you think we should know (like part-time jobs, volunteering, or cool projects you’ve worked on).

Once you hit submit, keep an eye on your inbox (and your junk folder!) — we’ll send you a link to start your digital assessments.

Please note, you can only apply to one programme per year.

Step 2 – Show us your skills

You’ll complete two online assessments that help us get to know you better — how you think, what motivates you, how you might fit into the programme, and your numerical reasoning abilities. Don’t worry — you’ll get a chance to practice first, and we’ll send you tips to help you feel confident.

We understand that you might want to utilise AI to support your preparation for taking the assessments – understanding Sky etc. But we ask that you complete the assessments themselves without the assistance of AI.

Want to go a step further? Check out our Preparation Hub — it’s packed with practice exercises, insights into the assessment process, and stories from current grads and apprentices. You’ll even learn more about your values, learning style, and the kind of work that suits you.

Step 3 – Assessment Centre

If you make it to the final stage, we’ll invite you to an assessment day.

You’ll take part in tasks designed to show us how you think, solve problems, and work with others — all while getting a real feel for what it’s like to work in Finance at Sky.

We'll let you know when to expect a decision once the assessment day has taken place.

Need Support? If you need us to make any adjustments to help you complete any stage of your application, let us know when you submit your application and someone from our Early Careers team will get in touch if we need more detail.

So why wait?

This is your chance to be part of something big. Our internship puts you right at the centre of the action — learning, growing, and helping make the magic of Sky happen every day. No matter your background, interests, or degree subject, there’s space here for your ideas and ambition.

A career at Sky is where better begins — and it starts with you.
