Junior Data Analyst Fellowship

Get hired into data on what you can do, not what's on your CV

Most entry-level data jobs want experience you can't get without a data job. So our hiring partners, led by Xander Talent, hire junior data talent a different way: through us.

We're recruiting now for our hiring partners, and the programme is how we find the right people for them. Over ten weeks you work as an analyst in PRISM, our simulated company with 500M+ rows of real data, doing the real job: Excel, Power BI, AI tools, and pitching your work to real employers. Our partners then meet the people who stand out. Not everyone will be put forward, but everyone finishes with a portfolio and career coaching.

It works. Xander Talent alone has hired 10 people from our programmes in the last three months. We've trained 1,000+ people and are rated 4.8 on Google.

How it works

• Apply on our website, then a short questionnaire, assessments and an interview
• Ten weeks full time, learning by doing the job, finishing with a portfolio
• The people who stand out are put forward to our hiring partners, through employer introductions and a careers fair
• Everyone else gets one-to-one career coaching to land their own role

Good to know: the ten weeks are unpaid but free, with no cost to you, funded by the Department for Work and Pensions, and you also gain a Level 3 Certificate in Data. It starts 16 November, runs Monday to Friday finishing around 4pm, and includes in-person days in Oxford. You need to live or work in Oxfordshire, have the right to work in the UK, and be free full time for the ten weeks. This is the final Oxford cohort, with 17 places. Apply by 30 October.

For you if you're job hunting for a data role, you're tired of "experience required", and you'd rather prove it than polish a CV. Career changers and recent graduates welcome. No degree or data experience needed.

Funded by the Department for Work and Pensions through the Skills Bootcamps programme. We welcome applications from everyone, especially women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ people, veterans, parents and disabled people. Reasonable adjustments are available throughout.
