Softcat: does its apprenticeship sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Softcat publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeship, so we cannot state a firm answer. Softcat takes apprentices into its Sales, Commercial, Business and Technical teams and is explicit that you do not need a technical background. The programme runs for 18 months on a structured progression path, and leads to a recognised Level 3, Level 4 or Level 6 qualification, so the same route covers school leaver and degree level entry. The published entry bar is at least a GCSE in maths and English, with the exact grade set in each job advert, as Softcat states you must hold at least a GCSE in maths and English. Nothing on the page addresses visa sponsorship, and no salary is published.
