Unconfirmed. Premier Inn publishes no sponsorship policy for its data, digital, tech graduates, so we cannot state a firm answer. The programme puts graduates into business-critical digital, data and technology roles over two years. Whitbread's early careers hub gives no salary figure, no visa sponsorship statement and no explicit 2027 date for this specific stream, only a general note that applications for the next intake open in October 2026.
