Apprenticeships are making a comeback at some technology companies, allowing applicants—many with just a high-school education—to get months of training in digital skills, building a pathway to more challenging roles and higher salaries
The applicants, many with just a high-school education, are getting months of training in digital skills, including programming languages such as C++, building a pathway to more challenging roles and higher salaries.
“CIOs are concerned because they are competing with the likes of the big tech companies for the same talent,” said James Atkinson, vice president of quantitative analytics and data science at Gartner Inc.’s human resources research and advisory practice. “We have to get over some mental paradigms that we have about recruiting and the standards that we have,” said Mr. Ackerman, adding that he had to convince division engineering heads of the benefits of bringing in software engineers without college degrees. Technical experts at Bosch will serve as mentors to the apprentices.
Besides teaching technology skills, some companies are using apprenticeships as an opportunity to diversify their workforce. Barclays places apprentices in locations including New York City. Applicants don’t need a college degree.
