Honestly,

You don't need a techy degree or background to excel; 77% of people who have joined the Academy come from a completely non-Computing background. We do not mandate any specific experience or academic background, instead, we look 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, people determine their own success story. 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 a structured ‘Learn IT, Grow IT, Live IT’ model across the two-year programme:

LEARN IT: You’ll receive 8 weeks of ‘core’ training (an introduction to a little of everything – taught from the very beginning, there’s no requirement for previous experience or knowledge). We then follow up with up to 4 weeks of additional specialist training (which area of core training did you like best? Let’s explore it more with you! Business Analysis, Test Automation, Software Development and more!). All Ten10 training is delivered by our brilliant team of industry experts. Core training is conducted remotely, but for additional training. We offer free accommodation (and Yorkshire Tea) in Leeds during this period to all trainees – it’s your choice whether you’d like to move in!

GROW IT: Next, you’ll have some time for self-development via self-driven training, lets focus on YOU, would you benefit from some further 1-2-1 training? Would you like to gain a professional industry certification? Ten10 will fund your self-development and industry qualifications.

LIVE IT: After your training is complete, you will join a Ten10 team on a live project with one of our clients. We’ll work with you to determine which type of project 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 supermarkets, various Governmental departments, professional services, charities, healthcare providers, law firms and financial institutions. 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.
