Why work at IBM? Our IBM School Leaver Schemes will enable you to gain the experience, skills and contacts you need to start building a bright future. The choice of scheme is yours. We have Level 4 Apprenticeships, Degree Apprenticeships and 12 Month Gap Year Intern roles, but whatever, path you choose, you’ll work on real projects, with real clients and real bottom-line deliverables. Our opportunities will give you everything you need to build a successful career.

You do not need to have any prior work experience; instead, we’re looking for enthusiastic, driven and innovative individuals, with a passion for business and technology.
