Job description
Our Offer
12-15 weeks of proven high-quality technical and professional training in a wide range of skills that are in high demand followed by work in a London-based role using technology to make a positive impact;
- Training like it should be: “This is what university should have been” and “by the end I was work-ready” - even though it is largely remote learning and unpaid our consultants consistently praise our level of support with attentive coaches who make themselves available through regular 121s and low trainee/coach ratios;
- Training is just the beginning: we provide coaching, mentoring, technical support, high-performance mindset training and more while you work for our clients with the aim of life-long success;
- Our commitment to you is to get you into a technology role: we can’t guarantee a particular role or industry but we work hard at placing people where they have the opportunity to thrive;
- You don’t need coding experience to apply as we will support you so you are ready for the technical assessment at the end of our hiring process. We will also support you before the start of training so that you are where you need to be;
- We will provide laptops and cover any travel and accommodation expenses during training.
- Training is unpaid. If placed with a client the Year 1 salary is £30,000 p.a. and the Year 2 salary is £38,000 p.a.
What we are looking for
We hire graduates from STEM and non-STEM backgrounds and the vast majority of our trainees are not computer science graduates.
You’ll fit right in at Sigma Labs if you:
- see a job as an opportunity to learn and make an impact, not just a destination;
- love to learn and not scared to try;
- value collaboration to reach your goals;
- can logically think through a problem and clearly explain the solution;
- will go above and beyond to be a difference-maker.
As a B-Corp with social mobility at the heart of our mission, we particularly want to hear from people who are not well represented in technology and high-performance jobs including female candidates and those from low-income backgrounds.
