Technology Work Experience

Step inside. Ignite your future in tech.


Working in tech. What’s it really like?

Dive into our technology work experience and forget about work shadowing and making tea. This is your chance to immerse yourself in real working life. Get hands on with real-world technology projects and see, up close, what it really takes to shape the technology that serves over 19.5 million customers.

Whether you’re a tech enthusiast or just curious about a career in this area, our programme will give you the insight you’re looking for.

What you can expect

You’ll join us in our offices every day for a week and get involved in a range of exciting activities.

You’ll hear from tech experts in different areas of our technology team and try out the kind of tasks they’re involved in day to day. You’ll get to collaborate with your fellow students on your own project, coming up with innovative solutions to a problem. And you’ll take part in workshops focused on CV writing, interview prep, and looking after your health and wellbeing.

Last year, students rated our programme 4.8 out of 5 and 85% said they would consider working for us in the future. We’re committed to making your experience even better.
