This is the first season we have followed most of these firms, so next year this page will say when each one is likely to open.
On our record today, 12 of the 21 firms we follow for data and AI apprenticeships have postings open, with 17 roles between them.
Postings from another 9 firms opened this season and are no longer listed. The firm table names each firm, its state this season and its open roles.
Yes: in England an apprentice is an employee earning a wage, and in the UK the apprentice rate of the National Minimum Wage is £8 an hour from April 2026.
That rate covers apprentices under 19, and those 19 or over in their apprenticeship's first year; after that, the National Minimum Wage or National Living Wage for their age applies. Lloyds Banking Group's two data programmes starting in September 2027 give a salary of £27,400, and Thales' AI and Data Science Graduate Apprenticeship in Glasgow pays £24,000 a year. The AnitaB.org repost of Google's US posting says its data analytics apprentices are paid hourly, with 40 hours a week required. Legal & General's 2027 London data posting gives no salary.
On our record, 21 of the 21 firms we follow have opened data and AI apprenticeship postings in the 2026–27 season, which began on 1 June 2026.
The firm table gives each firm's opening day. Lloyds Banking Group's two data programmes close on 1 December for Birmingham and Leeds, 15 December for Bristol and 12 January for Edinburgh, and Lloyds says it occasionally needs to close applications earlier than originally advertised. Thales' Glasgow applications close at 11.59pm on 17 February 2027. Legal & General recruits on a rolling basis and expects its London vacancy to close before the deadline.
GOV.UK sets three conditions for starting an apprenticeship in England: being 16 or over, living in England, and not being in full-time education.
Lloyds Banking Group's data programmes in England ask applicants to be at least 18 on 1 September 2027, with GCSE Maths and English at grades 4 to 9 and 3 A levels at CCC or equivalent; in Edinburgh, 18 by the end of February 2028, with Nat 5 Maths and English at grades A to C and four Highers at BBCC. Lloyds' pages say these grades can be predicted. Legal & General's London programme asks for 96 UCAS points from Level 3 qualifications, GCSE Maths and English at grade 5/C, and no other government-funded training course under way. Thales' Glasgow programme asks for 96 UCAS points and four Highers at BBCC including Maths or Computing.
In England, the Data analyst apprenticeship is a Level 4 standard (ST0118) with a typical duration of 24 months, for an occupation found in any sector that uses data to make business decisions.
Apprentices spend at least 20% of their normal working hours on training. Lloyds Banking Group's Applied Data & AI Apprenticeship takes the Level 4 Data Analyst Apprenticeship with BPP over 18 months; its Data & AI Apprenticeship runs 4.5 years, moving on to a Level 6 degree apprenticeship in Data Science or Digital Technology Solutions. Thales' Glasgow programme is delivered over four years, studying towards an AI and Data Science Graduate Level Apprenticeship qualification with Glasgow Caledonian University.
Google's Data Analytics Apprenticeship, February 2027 Start, is an 18-month US programme whose apprentices are paid hourly, and the AnitaB.org repost of Google's posting asked for applications to be completed before 21 September 2026.
The repost gives New York and Atlanta as its locations, with Chicago and Los Angeles as preferred working locations, and 40 hours a week required. It asked for a high school diploma, GED equivalent or practical experience; no current or completed Bachelor's, Master's or PhD in an analytics-related field; and less than a year of data analytics experience. Among the UK postings checked for this page, Lloyds Banking Group's two data programmes and Legal & General's Asset Management Data Programme in London start in September 2027, and Thales' Glasgow induction week runs 6 to 10 September 2027.
12 firms are open for data and AI apprenticeships right now, each with its own portal, documents and deadline. Jorb AI's application agent handles the multi-firm workload in one place, tailoring a CV and cover letter for each role you pursue and tracking each application alongside the rest.
“Opened” is the date the firm posted a role, or the day Jorb AI first saw it on the firm’s own careers site, which we check daily. “No longer listed” means the posting has been gone for a few days. Last season’s dates are shown only for firms we were already following when that season began.
Open counts every listing still open, including those first seen before 1 June; Opened this season counts only those first seen since.
