Version 1: does its early careers digital academy programme sponsor a UK visa?
Unconfirmed. Version 1 publishes no sponsorship policy for its early careers digital academy programme, so we cannot state a firm answer. Version 1 runs a 21 month early careers programme that opens with a 12 week hybrid technical and consultancy academy on a paid training contract, then moves into an 18 month Associate Consultant placement with pre agreed uplifts of 5 percent at six months, 5 percent at twelve and 10 percent at eighteen. Entry asks for a 2:2 in any STEM subject. The UK locations are Birmingham and Belfast. The posting lists eligibility to work in the UK or Ireland among its key requirements but never addresses visa sponsorship, and no salary figure is published.

Does the pay clear the UK Skilled Worker salary threshold?
The pay for this scheme is not published clearly enough to judge against the threshold.
What is the catch international students miss with Version 1?
The 2027 listings are a talent pool, not a live vacancy. Version 1 states in capitals that you will be contacted when an academy opens in your home location. The key requirements also include being eligible to work in the UK or Ireland.
How should I confirm Version 1's sponsorship before applying?
Read the specific vacancy on Version 1's careers site, ask its early-careers team directly, and check the employer on the gov.uk Register of Licensed Sponsors. Policies and thresholds change, so treat this page as a starting point and confirm for the exact role and cycle.
