We help graduates, non-graduates, career changers, and returners kickstart their career in technology through funded training programmes in Data, Software Engineering, DevOps, Cyber Security, Business Analysis, Test Automation, and more. Across these programmes we equip our “Spartan” consultants with the technical and collaborative skills they need to hit the ground running in their first roles - powering up their potential to immediately make an impact on projects with our clients.

We now hire, train, and deploy Spartan talent to more than 100 public and private sector organisations across the UK, Ireland, Sweden and the United States.

How to become a Spartan

Build a career filled with creativity, opportunity, and longevity. Become a Spartan.

1. Join: we encourage anyone who can showcase the attitude, aptitude, and potential for success to apply to kickstart a career with us. We do not require applicants to have a STEM background or degree-level education.
2. Train: you’ll spend 8-10 weeks completing full-time training in your selected specialism. Training is remote, funded by Sparta Global and you’ll be paid a salary throughout.
3. Work: at the successful completion of your training, you’ll be assigned to work with one of our clients as a Spartan consultant – with contracts lasting an average of 24 months. We now work with more than 100 companies, across almost every industry sector.
4. Grow: sitting still isn’t an option in tech, so we give our Spartans plenty of opportunities for upskilling. You can access continuous learning pathways through our partnership with Udemy, complete new certifications at our cost, and engage our alumni community for networking.

Diversity and Inclusion

To work at Sparta Global is to see the world differently, through many different perspectives and with a truly collaborative spirit. We empower our people to be themselves and respect others – its core to our values and what we believe in. This inclusiveness is something we have lived and breathed since we were founded.

We believe in a future where everyone feels included, no matter where they work or live, and diversity is embraced, because we believe a future of inclusion is a better future for all.

In February 2023, we launched Sparta’s Athena Academy – an alternative stream for women to access our training and careers. The Athena Academy empowers women through all-women cohorts, women trainers, and a slightly longer training programme.
