IBM Consulting: does its graduate scheme sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyGraduate Scheme

Unconfirmed. IBM Consulting publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate scheme, so we cannot state a firm answer. IBM's UK careers pages carry no visa-sponsorship statement for graduate consulting roles; an earlier check where IBM's own site chatbot was asked directly declined to answer. A previously logged entry salary near £32,000 would sit below the ~£38,300 new-entrant threshold if accurate, which would block sponsorship on pay alone regardless of policy.

The catch: ibm.com/careers returned 403 to automated fetch on both attempts this pass; pay figure is carried over from prior research and needs re-confirmation against IBM's own site before being treated as reliable.
