Being an apprentice at Microsoft

As a Microsoft Apprentice you could start your career early, earn while you learn and gain valuable experience.

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 you really are part of the team.

As an apprentice at Microsoft you will:
  • Join Microsoft fully supported by an apprentice buddy who you will meet before you join and a 3-week induction event
  • Be supported in your teams by your manager and fellow team members. Our managers are fully trained and ready to support you and your apprentice programme
  • Be part of vibrant and inclusive apprentice community and can give back with our community programmes such as DigiGirls or SteamKidz
  • Be given a real job and responsibility. We love the impact our apprentices create in their jobs roles and the fresh thinking they bring
  • Be supported to be career curious. Microsoft is just the beginning. When you are coming to the end of your apprentice programme we support you with our Career Connections programme to help you secure your next career opportunity
  • Paid a competitive salary
