Our Academic Programme is designed to broaden and deepen your knowledge and shape your future with us.
A percentage of your hours are on the job, and the remainder of your time is dedicated to gaining practical experience and formal qualifications.
We do expect all our Academic Programme participants to spend the majority of their time on one of our key sites, closely engaging with their managers and teams. We also encourage them to travel to customers’ sites, and to engage in regular collaboration sessions through networking and community events.
Our technical graduates and apprentices play a big part in the solutions that we deliver to our customers. We typically have technical vacancies across our technology portfolio. You may start in one area of the business, but we support your development and career growth by providing you with opportunities to move into other areas or get involved in stretch projects. Each business unit operates differently, so we encourage you to think about how flexible you can be.
We provide graduates and apprentices who take on project manager or business roles the chance to work on a diverse range of cutting-edge IT projects, surrounded by industry-leading experts. This will provide the opportunity to fulfil your career goals as part of an established global company.
You will have a great deal of responsibility from day one as you work in high-performing teams and deliver client-facing tasks. As you progress in your role at DXC Technology, you will develop your skills, increase your level of responsibility and become involved with larger, even more stimulating projects. In addition to your client project work, you will have the opportunity to get involved in several business improvement initiatives, and to take part in a wide range of formal and informal learning sessions, which will support your professional development and help shape your career.

“DXC Technology provides career growth and exposure for new joiners. Our culture and the promotion of diversity ensures individuals get fair opportunities to achieve their personal and business goals. "
"I’ve been given the opportunity to get involved in several projects. Currently, I’m really enjoying security reporting. It allows me to balance working with data and interacting directly with customers. The workload is varied, and gives insight into how security interacts with various areas of business."
"DXC offers a wide range of opportunities that fit my project management interests. There is a focus on development both within your role, and the opportunity to do other training, qualifications and certifications. I really appreciate the company’s approach to work/life choices."
"Last year I had the opportunity to attend an industry event in London, to represent both DXC and a charity. It was interesting to learn more about the solutions DXC provide within the defence sector, and get involved with some charity work to support our veterans. This was also a great opportunity to meet some of the team I work with on a day-to-day basis, outside of the virtual first environment."
"Three things I’ve learnt since joining DXC: the importance of collaboration to complete tasks; how to deal with stakeholders in a variety of environments; and how to manage multiple areas of an ongoing project."
"DXC’s people-first strategy stood out to me; and their support throughout the recruitment process and Early Careers Programme underlines this. I graduated with a BSc in International Business Finance and Economics. I knew I wanted to work in a global IT company, where I could enhance the skills and qualifications from my degree, and also work in an environment that delivers excellence for both customers and colleagues."
Our programme is designed to help you grow your career and gain skills that are important to supporting DXC’s business and customers. You can achieve industry-recognized certifications (where appropriate). It is possible to apply for up to one certification over the course of a financial year, and DXC connects you with academic managers to establish which certifications will be best suited to your chosen path. DXC offers our own learning platform and online tools, such as LinkedIn Learning and Udemy, for skills development and certification courses.
DXC Technology encourages members of our academic programme to attend and support charity events and initiatives.
DXC's graduates and apprentices have already supported several charitable initiatives, including the Manchester United Foundation and Walking with the Wounded. These events have provided opportunities for our early careers programme members to interact with colleagues, develop team-building skills, and contribute to worthy causes.
Our programme aims to foster a culture of social responsibility and community engagement among its employees.
