The Opportunity
On this 4 year scheme you will work towards a Digital and Technology Solutions Degree Apprenticeship, BSc (Hons) at Weston College, Weston-Super-Mare. Study will take place face to face at College at either the Bristol or Weston sites, 1 day per week.

We are a strong cohesive team, which is interactive and passionate about software technologies and development. We have an open and encouraging approach to software development and are always seeking to improve the way we work and deliver our products. This provides a great learning environment for the apprentices on our programme.
Working closely with other teams and departments, you will work at various stages in the software development process, covering anything from embedded systems to front end software. This software will be developed on a range of platforms, including Linux and Windows, utilising languages including C, C++ and Java.
