Now as an apprentice, I'd say CC has an amazing culture and outstanding support. Progression is real here if you put in the effort, you can grow into new roles with people who truly help you along the way.

I chose a Data Analyst apprenticeship at Computacenter because I wanted real-world experience, not just theory. I t’s hands-on, career-focused, and lets me earn while learning—making it a practical and rewarding alternative to university.

The experience of my apprenticeship has significantly enhanced my confidence both personally and professionally. I have developed stronger social skills, contributed meaningful and valuable work, and become far more assured in the knowledge and abilities I apply each day.

Before my Cybersecurity apprenticeship, I wasn’t sure it was possible as I had a Psychology degree but a strong interest in IT. Taking this step opened doors I never imagined. If you’re willing to learn and explore a new, exciting field, go for it!

Work experience showed me how strong the community is here. Everyone I met was friendly, supportive, and committed to helping you grow. That encouraging atmosphere made me excited to apply for an apprenticeship with Computacenter.
