What to know about IT trainee jobs

Jobs for IT trainees are on the rise, as more and more positions in the IT sector open up. As the work is fairly technical, you need solid training and a good bank of knowledge in order to kick off your career. That’s where an IT trainee comes in. In this role, you’ll be completing tasks that get more technical over time, as you learn and pick up new skills on the job. Most positions will be full-time jobs, designed for you to move into a permanent, official role once you complete your training. You can also find part-time jobs as an IT trainee that can be done alongside your studies, or simply fit around your schedule. If you’re already finished your studies, and are looking for something to further your qualification in the field, then have a look at some graduate jobs for IT trainees.

Many of the UK’s top employers hire IT trainees for jobs in their companies, so they can teach them skills that are specific to the industry and how they work. That means there are a number of different areas you can specialise in. If you like giving a helping hand and have a good bit of patience, you should consider a trainee job in IT support. Maybe you’d rather something more technically challenging, where you can get into the nitty-gritty? Then a trainee IT technician or engineer job might be more up your street. If you’re a firewall whizz with a keen eye for detail, then check out some IT security trainee jobs. Or, you might be an all-rounder who likes sharing their knowledge and expertise with others. In that case, you might consider a trainee IT consultant job. Whatever area you’re looking at, there’s an IT job that’ll suit your interests – take a scroll to find it.

But the real question is: how much can you earn in an IT trainee job? As an apprentice or trainee in the UK, the amount you get paid depends mostly on your age. If you’re under 19 years of age, or in your first year of training, you’ll earn roughly £4.80. Once you’re over 19, or finished with your first year, you’ll be given the national minimum wage for your age. Anyone over the age of 23 will earn the full national living wage, around £9.50. Now that you know what you can make doing work as an IT trainee, you can go ahead and start applying.
