Graduate Technology Consultant Programme - September 2024 start

About Us

We are a team of wide ranging backgrounds with a singular focus on making opportunities available to people who have the right mindset and raw skills, regardless of background, that will lead to life-long career success.

• Our leading full-time professional training in software development and data engineering will give you the skills to add value to a team from Day 1 - our consultants consistently feedback that they felt “work-ready” from the start.
• We aim to be supportive through all of our interactions and everyday we see the positive impact as trainees and consultants who once worried about messing up now try new things and ask questions without fear of looking bad.
• Training is followed by 2 years of employment with us while embedded within one of our clients’ teams. If we cannot place you with a client we will continue to help you find a role in tech - over 90% of those who completed training, from STEM and non-STEM backgrounds, started roles in technology in a wide range of industries including consulting, finance and software design and engineering.

Our Offer

• 12-15 weeks of proven high-quality technical and professional training in a wide range of skills that are in high demand followed by work in a London-based role using technology to make a positive impact;
• Training like it should be: “This is what university should have been” and “by the end I was work-ready” - even though it is largely remote learning and unpaid our consultants consistently praise our level of support with attentive coaches who make themselves available through regular 121s and low trainee/coach ratios;
• Training is just the beginning: we provide coaching, mentoring, technical support, high-performance mindset training and more while you work for our clients with the aim of life-long success;
• Our commitment to you is to get you into a technology role: we can’t guarantee a particular role or industry but we work hard at placing people where they have the opportunity to thrive;
• You don’t need coding experience to apply as we will support you so you are ready for the technical assessment at the end of our hiring process. We will also support you before the start of training so that you are where you need to be;
• We will provide laptops and cover any travel and accommodation expenses during training.

What makes us different? Care through Performance

We care about what we do and how we impact others. We are not satisfied with being average and nice, we want to go the extra mile. Feedback at every assessment stage, low coach-to-trainee ratio, regular coaching throughout your time as a consultant... candidates, consultants and clients all agree, caring is at the heart of what we do and why we do it.

We also believe in “performance in the moment”, making the most of every opportunity that comes our way. Our team members have excellent track records at world-class companies, but that counts for little compared to the pride we take in seeing each other doing the best we can day in and day out. That will include you. If you think we can perform better then let us know and we will continue to challenge ourselves to care more through better performance.

Who we’re looking for

You’ll fit right in at Sigma Labs if you:

• see a job as an opportunity to learn and make an impact, not just a destination;
• love to learn and not scared to try;
• value collaboration to reach your goals;
• can logically think through a problem and clearly explain the solution;
• will go above and beyond to be a difference-maker.

As a B-Corp with social mobility at the heart of our mission, we particularly want to hear from people who are not well represented in technology and high-performance jobs including female candidates and those from low-income backgrounds.

Eligibility: Applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis using the following. You must have:

• Economic: at least one of the following applied to you between the ages of 11 and 16: 
  
  • grew up in a household with a total annual income of less than £43k; 
  • attended a non-academically selective state school; 
  • were eligible for free school meals; or 
  • received local authority care. 
• We will also consider those who received university benefits. We do not accept applications from anyone who attended a private school in the UK or abroad.
• Education: received, or expect to receive, at least a 2ii from a UK university in any 3-4 year first degree since 2020.
• Right to work in the UK: a successful candidate, by the start of the employment, must have the ability to work in the UK for at least 3 years.

Typically this means that one of the following applies: have a UK passport, EU/EEA Settled Status or Indefinite Leave to Remain (currently we do not sponsor visas).
