Overview

Are you looking to kick-start a new career as a Data Scientist? We are recruiting for companies who are looking to employ our Data Science Traineeship graduates to grow with their organizations. No previous experience is required, as full training will be provided. You will have a job guarantee (£25K-£45K) within 20 miles of your location upon completion. The package can be completed at a pace that suits you, whether you are working full time, part time, or unemployed.

The traineeship is completed in 4 steps, and you can be placed into your first role in as little as 6-12 months.


Traineeship Steps

  1. Step 1 - Full Data Science Career Training. You will study a selection of industry-recognized courses that take you from beginner to qualified for a junior Data Scientist role. Through interactive courses you will gain knowledge in Python, R, Machine Learning, AI, and more. You will also complete mini projects to gain practical experience and test your skills while you study.
  2. Step 2 - CompTIA Data+. CompTIA Data+ is an early-career data analytics certification for professionals tasked with developing and promoting data-driven business decision‑making. It teaches Data Mining, Visualization, Data Governance & Data Analytics. This globally recognized certification will enhance your CV and help you stand out in recruitment.
  3. Step 3 - Official Exam. The CompTIA Data+ exam certifies your knowledge and skills to transform business requirements into data-driven decisions through mining and manipulating data, applying basic statistical methods, and analysing complex datasets while adhering to governance and quality standards. The exam is 90 minutes long and can be sat in a local testing centre or online.
  4. Step 4 - Practical Projects. You will be assigned 2 practical projects by your tutor. These projects showcase your ability to apply skills in real-world scenarios and are essential to demonstrate readiness to employers for a data science role. You will work on projects while progressing with ongoing tutor support; after final sign-off, you will move to the recruitment stage.

Your Data Science Role

After completing all mandatory training (online courses, practical projects, and building your portfolio), we will place you into a Data Scientist role. A starting salary of £25K-£45K is guaranteed, with partnerships across large organisations located throughout the UK, enabling a nationwide reach for candidates. If you do not secure a job after completion, you will receive a refund of 100% of your course fees.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
