We are delighted to announce the launch of our brand new Level 4 Data Engineer Apprenticeship! 

For the first time, employers can now tackle the Data Engineering skills gap with a programme that is 100% funded by the Apprenticeship Levy. This industry-leading programme offers employers the opportunity to reskill new and existing staff into a junior data engineering role focused on creating and maintaining data analytics pipelines. The programme has been designed to meet the pressing skills gaps identified by clients and create the internal capability to build key data infrastructure. At Cambridge Spark we believe that it is critical to implement and maintain robust data pipelines to deliver quality data analytics for the wider business.

We are delighted to deliver the first Data Engineer programme fully funded by the Apprenticeship Levy. Data Engineers are crucial to the success of becoming a data-driven organisation and this new course offers a fantastic opportunity for employers to equip their workforce with a key data engineering skillset."
