Create a profile and receive smart job recommendations based on your liked jobs.

Our exciting Apprenticeship is for people aged 16-24 years old and gives you the opportunity to start your career earlier than most.

An Apprenticeship is a genuine alternative to university, we offer full training while you work helping you to get ahead in a working environment.

In addition to receiving great experience and guidance from the start, you can also avoid expensive tuition fees and start earning and learning faster than traditional education. Just imagine what you could have achieved at Microsoft in the time it takes you to complete a university degree.

We don’t believe in the traditional notion of “work experience” either. At Microsoft you are given real responsibility from the outset, with an employment contract for the full duration of your Apprenticeship and funded training relevant to your role. When you complete your Apprenticeship, you’ll receive a nationally recognised apprenticeship qualification and support to help you continue your career at Microsoft.

Business Apprenticeship

Our Apprenticeship programme has been carefully created to form the bridge between academic and professional life. Join the Business stream of our Apprenticeship programme and you will have an extensive range of responsibilities and key tasks to undertake. You will be working in an exciting, ever-changing and fast-paced environment as part of a team.

You must have a passion for technology, a curiosity to learn and excellent communication skills. We recruit into a variety of business-related roles, so there’s something for everyone regardless of the subjects you have studied.Put simply, you don’t just have to be a computer scientist to work at Microsoft!

To find out what it’s really like to be a Business Apprentice at Microsoft hear directly from some of our apprentices Nicole, Sophie, Sean and Sania,

For more insight into the culture and community at Microsoft, as well as practical advice on the application process from all our Early in careers employees, read more on our blog www.beyourfuture.net

Requirements:

To join as an Apprentice, you will need to have obtained a minimum or be predicated to achieve a minimum of 5 GCSEs (or equivalent) grade A to C, including Maths, English, Science and preferably ICT.

For our 2017 intake you must be able to start your Apprenticeship in September 2017

Please note that the Apprenticeship is for school leavers only and those who are due to graduate this academic year or who have finished university are not eligible.

The closing date for Apprentice applications is 23rd April 2017

In the UK we share Microsoft’s global vision to empower every person and organisation to achieve more; but we also pursue a wide range of initiatives with particular resonance and relevance to the UK. From working responsibly and sustainably to ensuring that the technology we create makes life better - not just for our customers, partners and employees, but for everyone. That’s why we are constantly investing in three key areas:

- In Education
We are born to learn.
At Microsoft, we understand the real value of technology lies in the skills it builds, the opportunities it creates, and the horizons it broadens. That’s why we are empowering the education community with a wide range of products, services and programmes that help transform learning and make it more accessible.

- In Business
We are driven to succeed.
Whether supporting start-ups and SMEs, promoting apprenticeships though our Partner network, or reimagining business productivity in radical new ways, Microsoft UK is all about ensuring today’s workplace really does ‘work’ for everyone.

- In Society
We are committed to people.
In ensuring all our products, processes and practices are safe, secure and always accessible, we're proud to work with many leading charities, businesses and organisations committed to the same high ethical standards. These are just some of the ideals we champion in spirit and action.
