Getting qualified. It's a huge achievement that can completely change your prospects - but it's not always open to everyone, whether that's due to the cost of university or the timing not being right. Barclays offers an apprenticeships programme that provides a permanent, full-time job with a competitive salary from day one, while gaining a professional qualification at the same time. Whether you're a school-leaver looking for alternatives to traditional university or someone thinking differently about your future, Barclays can help you build an extraordinary career, regardless of background.

Our programme is designed for school leavers and career changers, but is open to anyone. You'll join an Apprenticeship cohort from various backgrounds. If you already have a degree, visit to consider graduate opportunities.

Why a Barclays Apprenticeship?

You'll have the opportunity to earn while working towards an IT Management for Business Graduate Apprenticeship, combining theoretical learning with practical work in a full-time permanent role. It offers a professional qualification without student debt, while gaining years of work experience. If a more relevant Apprenticeship becomes available, Barclays may change the Apprenticeship before you start.

Barclays has invested in the Apprenticeship programme for many years. From day one you'll be assigned a Programme Support Manager and paired with a People Leader and an expert in your subject area to support your development. The Apprenticeship path enables self-discovery and the exploration of different career options. Barclays has extensive banking experience and operates in many countries, offering networking opportunities and scope to grow.

Technology at Barclays

Banking is technology. In Technology teams, you'll be at the heart of what we do, as every part of the business relies on tech to move transactions, manage data, and protect customers worldwide. You'll work on our digital infrastructure and build a career in an environment where we advance machine learning, blockchain, and FinTech, alongside industry experts.

Are you eligible?

To apply you'll need 4 Highers (minimum B grades) including Mathematics and English. We also look for commitment and enthusiasm. Apprenticeships require you to show up ready to work, push yourself, and think differently about what you're capable of. You'll have the backing of a global bank and be expected to meet that standard.

To apply for our apprentice programme, you must meet the Government's apprentice funding requirements that apply to you as outlined at apprentices in Scotland. The Government requirements include a 3-year residence requirement (subject to exceptions) and holding the legal right to work full-time for the duration of the apprenticeship. You'll also need to be residing in Scotland from 1 August 2026.
