Kainos: does its kainos academy, graduate programme with placements and the earn as you learn apprenticeship sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Kainos publishes no sponsorship policy for its kainos academy, graduate programme with placements and the earn as you learn apprenticeship, so we cannot state a firm answer. The Kainos Academy has been the company's single early careers structure since 2011 and takes more than £1 million of investment a year. The graduate route is open to final year students, recent graduates and career changers moving into technology. A placement year sits alongside it, and Kainos says strong placement students can be offered a permanent role after graduation. Below that are work experience for 14 to 19 year olds, where participants build a webpage by day three, and CodeCamp, a free programme for STEM students aged 14 to 18. The Earn as you Learn apprenticeship funds a computing systems degree. No salary or sponsorship position is published.
