Company

For ambitious school leavers, a Softcat Apprenticeship is a great first step into the world of work. You earn, learn and gain qualifications while starting out on a structured career. Our award-winning scheme has set many Softcatters on the path to success.

We are one of the UK’s leading providers of technology solutions and services to Corporate and Public Sector organisations. We help them to use technology to solve their business challenges, by putting our employees first. We are a trusted partner to names like Apple, Microsoft and Adobe, reselling their products and services in the form of tailored solutions into the business market.

Apprentices are a huge asset to our business. You don’t need a techie background to join us; we just love to recruit smart, hard workers with the ambition to achieve big things.

Your Apprenticeship will feature a structured programme of on-the-job learning, with lots of support and mentoring from colleagues. Once completed, you’ll hopefully follow in the footsteps of many previous Softcat Apprentices who have progressed into permanent positions across the business.
