At Bloomberg we work on purpose. The goal of our apprenticeship programme is to help you find yours.

Are you interested in the world of finance? Do you want to learn how data and technology keeps the global markets moving? Our Data Analyst apprenticeship combines a university degree qualification with practical work experience. You will start in one of our Global Data teams where you will be best placed to gain further insight into our Data business as a whole.

During the programme you will learn what it’s like to work across industries and asset classes to secure the most important and relevant information for our customers in Global Data by making it available through our technology platforms.

After you have gained a solid understanding of technologies used, our clients, the importance of customer service and the financial markets, you will then move through to other Data teams and go deeper into a specific asset class. Whichever team you work in, you’ll gain exposure to different industries such as engineering, news and finance. Bloomberg is a company that is constantly innovating and you’ll learn as much about yourself as our business. Bloomberg will support you every step of the way. You’ll get a dedicated line manager, a buddy and a mentor.

Bringing clarity to a complex world is our purpose. Ready to find yours?
We encourage you to apply to our Digital Technology Solutions Degree Apprenticeship and we will help you to choose the most appropriate team during the interview process.

Global Data

Bloomberg runs on data. In the Global Data team we're responsible for supplying it - which also means we solve problems as we seek to enrich all that data so we can turn it into insights. On any given day we collect, organise, and present billions of data points that inform clients' decisions - and moves markets. As an apprentice you will immediately start contributing to this work in an exciting and dynamic team.
