Hello, we are Avanade and we're one of the world's leading IT consultancies. Owned by Accenture and Microsoft, our 50,000 people globally strive to make a genuine human impact and are transforming businesses for the digital era.

Avanade was born as a joint venture company between Microsoft and Accenture in 2000 - the middle of the dot.com boom. 50,00 employees globally, today we are the leading provider of innovative digital and cloud services, business solutions and design-led experiences on the Microsoft ecosystem.

Our enthusiasm for each other and our work has and continues to take us far. Avanade has 32,000 Microsoft certifications and we've been named Microsoft Alliance SI Partner of the Year 15 times.

Together we're making a difference

Greater than our credentials is our impact on the world around us. We're working with an energy company to repopulate coral reefs, and we developed an AI chatbot to provide instant answers to tax questions for a leading engineering company. And, in the early days of COVID-19, a group of employees created an app that helped track ventilators across stretched healthcare systems.

Avanade's Software Engineering and Infrastructure Teams are on the look out!

Avanade's Software Engineering and Infrastructure team are looking for ambitious graduates to join an accelerated training programme and to bring their technical passion and skills into our Graduate VelocITy programme.

As part of this programme graduates can expect 3 months of intensive training run in partnership with a market leading training provider. The skills and development offered by this bespoke training will set you on an accelerated path to launch into a fantastic Modern Cloud Engineering consultancy career with focus around Microsoft Azure!

Upon submitting your application and CV, please attach a Word Document explaining what you think you can bring to this programme. Cover letter not required.  (Up to 150 words.)
