Ey up!

What’s that? You love problem solving? Great. Ever thought about a progressive career in the Technology industry? You don’t need any knowledge or a background in Technology to succeed at Ten10. Let’s close the digital skills gap together.

Ten10 offers a unique opportunity to explore an exciting future in technology for people from any background. Become a qualified and experienced Software Tester / Business Analyst / Developer / Cyber Security Analyst / Project Manager / Service Desk Analyst / DevOps Engineer with accelerated career progression within one of the world’s most exciting industries. We design, develop, test and launch different apps and systems every day; it's our job to build the best quality tech for our clients and due to the ever-evolving nature of the technology industry, 
the demand for talent is ever-growing and career development is vast.

Every month there are up to 100,000 vacancies in technology and digital roles – with not enough people to fill them. The Ten10 Academy seeks to close this digital skills gap – providing you with a role in technology, teaching you not just the skills you would find in a textbook – but the practical techniques and hands-on experience you need in order to do the job!

Honestly, you don't need a techy degree or background to excel; 77% of people who have joined the Academy come from a non-Computing background. We are simply looking for people who have an interest in the Technology industry, like collaborating in teams, enjoy an energetic and adaptable environment and have an aptitude for learning. We need people who will focus on the future and take the initiative, because ultimately, you will determine their own success story - we’re simply here to help you do it!

During the recruitment process, we'll tap into your natural aptitude for Tech too, so you can get 
a taste of whether this is the industry for you.

What will you be doing?

The Academy follows our structured ‘Learn IT, Grow IT, Live IT’ model across a two-year programme.

Learn IT

You’ll begin with a short online course that teaches you the fundamentals of computing, AI and what to expect during training. Next, comes ‘core’ training; which is an intense 5 week course delivered by our training team (who have all worked as Ten10 Tech Consultants previously). Core training is an introduction to a lot of different technologies, tools and mindsets that are applicable to multiple roles in the technology industry; this means that you’ll have the opportunity to explore and reflect on what you’re naturally good at and what you enjoy; so we can figure out together what sort of roles would be suitable for you in the future.

You’ll move into our (free) Academy accommodation for the first 2 weeks of core training to ensure you have the opportunity to thoroughly embed in Ten10 culture, get to know your team and mentors and we can assess your learning style but will have the option to move home and learn remotely for the remainder.

After core training is completed, you’ll have a week off training to meet with your assigned career mentor to discuss the areas of Tech you’ve found you love and want to explore further and you will apply for a place on a further training stream that’s suited to you. 

Stream 1 – Change Management: Teaching you the skills to become a Business Analyst, Project Manager, Service Desk Analyst, Software Tester or RPA Analyst.

Stream 2 – Platform Engineering: Learn about DevOps and Artificial Intelligence, you could go on to be a DevOps Engineer, Machine Learning Engineer or Cyber Security Analyst.

Stream 3 – Data Engineering: Deep dive into data and learn the skills to be a Data Analyst or Business Intelligence Analyst.

Stream 4 – Software Engineering: This stream is delivered face-to-face from our Leeds office, you’ll learn about test-driven Development, Programming and specialise in a specific language, setting you up for success as a Developer or Technical Tester.

Grow IT

Next, you’ll have some time for further upskilling and development via self-driven training, lets focus on YOU, would you benefit from some further 1-2-1 training? Would you like to become certified in something? Ten10 will fund your self-development and industry qualifications and you’ll have a mentor to bounce ideas off.

Live IT
After your training is complete, you will begin work on a real time project with one of Ten10’s clients (with lots of support!). We’ll work with you to determine which type of client placement would suit best (based on your interests, your preference for working environment, skillset post-training and client demand). Our clients include fashion brands, market-leading retailers, departments of the British Government, professional services organisations, charities, healthcare providers, law firms and financial institutions. Our clients are industry leaders and based across England and Scotland; relocation may be required – but we support you with that financially and 
pastorally. 

Gain valuable hands-on experience, take advantage of the continued training and development opportunities, be mentored by industry-leading professionals, and jump headfirst into the Ten10 social scene! Live IT is a continuation of your learning journey, we believe that hands-on experience is the best way to build your skillset. As the two-year Academy comes to an end, you may choose to continue your career with Ten10 in our consultancy or be offered a permanent role with your client.
