Your data journey starts here. Show us what you’re made of

At Lloyds Banking Group, data isn’t just numbers on a screen. It’s the fuel for every decision we make, every problem we solve, every idea that takes us forward.

We’re the UK’s biggest digital bank, with 23 million customers logging in, tapping and scrolling every day. And with £3bn a year going into cloud, AI and analytics, we’re serious about data shaping the future.

As a Data Apprentice, you’ll learn how to tame big, messy datasets, spot patterns no one else can see, and turn them into insights that make banking smarter, safer and simpler.

Three to four years. Two apprenticeships. Unlimited potential

This isn’t just one programme - it’s your first step to an amazing career. You’ll begin with a Level 4 Applied Data and AI Specialist apprenticeship. Do well, and successfully complete this, and you’ll move on to a degree apprenticeship, deepening your skills while growing your career with us.

Along the way, you’ll dive into:

• SQL and advanced data joins (yes, the fun kind)
• Predictive modelling & forecasting (basically, time travel with stats)
• Data visualisation & storytelling (making numbers talk)
• Analytics lifecycles & data democratisation
• Statistical programming languages
• Building data products people actually use

By the end, you won’t just know data. You’ll live and breathe data.

The impact you could make

• Spot patterns that stop fraud before it happens
• Help millions of customers make smarter money choices
• Build dashboards that leaders can’t live without
• Make data accessible, ethical and useful for everyone

Your skills toolkit

You’ll master:

• SQL, Python and other stats superpowers
• Visualisation that makes people go “ohhh, now I get it”
• Forecasting and modelling
• AI literacy and applied analytics
• Turning complexity into clarity

Support in your corner

We’ll set you up to shine with:

• Blended learning: real projects + classroom theory
• Time carved out just for your development
• A mentor, a manager and a buddy (because no one should debug alone)
• A community that shares your passion and goals

Your future. Fully funded

We’ll pay your salary and cover your qualifications. You’ll leave with:

• A fully funded Level 4 apprenticeship in Applied Data and AI
• The chance to progress to a degree apprenticeship
• Experience working with some of the UK’s biggest, most complex datasets
