Your Application Journey

Here’s what to expect, step by step:

Step 1 – Apply online

Tell us a bit about yourself — your details, your degree, and anything else you think we should know (like part-time jobs, volunteering, or cool projects you’ve worked on). We'll also be checking your apprenticeship eligibility alongside the Apprenticeship Levy guidelines..

Once you hit submit, keep an eye on your inbox (and your junk folder!) — we’ll send you a link to start your digital assessments.

Please note, you can only apply to one programme per year.

Step 2 – Show us your skills

You’ll complete two online assessments that help us get to know you better - how you think, what motivates you, and how you might fit into the programme and Sky.

Don’t worry — you’ll get a chance to practice first, and we’ll send you tips to help you feel confident.

We understand that you might want to utilise AI to support your preparation for taking the assessments – understanding Sky etc. But we ask that you complete the assessments themselves without the assistance of AI.

Want to go a step further? Check out our Preparation Hub — it’s packed with practice exercises, insights into the assessment process, and stories from current grads and apprentices.You’ll even learn more about your values, learning style, and the kind of work that suits you.

Step 3 – In-Person assessment centre

If you make it to the final stage, we’ll invite you to an in-person assessment day.

You’ll take part in tasks designed to show us how you think, solve problems, and work with others — all while getting a real feel for what it’s like to work in Business at Sky.

We’ll let you know when to expect a decision after the day’s done.

Need adjustments? If you need us to make any adjustments to help you complete any stage of your application, let us know when you submit your application and someone from our Early Careers team will be in touch if we need more detail.
