Apprentice pathway program
Talent is everywhere—but opportunity isn't. That's where our Apprentice Pathway Program comes in.
We've created this six-month, paid program to open doors for people from nontraditional backgrounds. As an apprentice, you'll
join a real SIE delivery team, contributing from day one and gaining hands-on experience that matters.
This isn't just a placement—it's a chance to build skills, grow your confidence, and see where a career in tech could take you.
Whether you're reskilling, reentering the workforce, or forging your own path, this program is designed to support you every
step of the way.
Ready to get started? Your future in interactive entertainment could begin right here.
Who This Program Serves
Our Apprentice Pathway Program is built for people taking nontraditional routes into tech—and that's exactly the point.
That might mean you're:
- Pivoting into a new career
- A graduate of a coding bootcamp or similar program
- Self-taught in your field
- Returning to work after time away
- Building a career without a four-year degree
However you got here, you belong here.
We partner with nonprofit training organizations to connect with and support talent from these backgrounds helping create real
access to opportunities and long-term careers in tech.
Program Overview
During the program, apprentices are fully embedded within a team—working alongside peers, reporting to a hiring manager, and
contributing from day one.
They'll gain hands-on experience, real industry exposure, and a clear view of what day-to-day work in their field looks like.
What to expect:
- Duration: 6 months (with two cohorts each year)
- Employment type: Paid, contingent (temporary contractor) roles at SIE
- Location: Hybrid—splitting time between remote work and our SIE offices
Along the way, apprentices build valuable skills, grow their networks, and deepen their understanding of the industry.
At the end of the six months, next steps will depend on business needs. That could mean a contract extension, a full-time
opportunity—or support as they take their next step beyond SIE.
Perks & Benefits
Apprentices can expect more than just day-to-day experience—they'll be supported every step of the way.
Here's what's in store:
- 1:1 mentorship and access to the wider SIE community
- Team-building moments and social events
- Lunch & Learns with our executive leadership team
- Opportunities to work on real projects that make a real impact
It's all designed to help apprentices learn, connect, and grow with confidence.
