Company Profile
Think IBM is just a technology company? Then think again. Infact, we’re an ideas company.
Over the last 100 years, we have brought many things to the world including the personal computer, the first ever calculator, the mainframe computer, the memory chip and games console chips. We have even developed NASA technology enabling man to land on the moon.
Being inspired is what makes us tick. And everything we do is about our commitment to bringing innovation and inspiration to life.
Today we’re one of the world leaders in IT services and consultancy – working with clients across the globe in all industries including retail, sport, business, finance, health, media and entertainment. From consulting with clients on how to expand into an international market, to managing IT outsourcing programmes for some of the worlds iconic brands to developing and running the software that powers the UK economy. IBM does it all.
Join us and you could too.
The OPTIONS
Industrial Placement:
If you are looking to take a year out as part of your degree and you want your CV to stand out from the crowd, our industrial placement scheme will offer you 12 months in which you’ll start building the future you want - before you’ve even got your degree. We have positions across all areas of our business including human resources, IT, business, marketing and finance.
Summer Internship:
IBM Extreme Blue is no ordinary summer internship. How does 12 weeks running your very own micro business in IBM sound? You’ll be part of a team consisting of 4 students (1 business and 3 technical) where you’ll develop the technology and business plan that will bring a new product to life for IBM. Are you up for the challenge?
