The Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Apprenticeship Scheme
Are you curious about technology and how it can be used to improve people's lives? Do you enjoy solving problems, learning new things and working with others to make a difference?
If so, the Welsh Government's Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Apprenticeship could be the perfect place to start your career.
You'll earn while you learn, gaining recognised qualifications, hands-on experience and the opportunity to work on projects that help improve public services across Wales. From health and education to the environment and tourism, you'll contribute to work that has a real impact on people's everyday lives.
As part of the apprenticeship, you’ll undertake up to three placements across different DDaT teams, giving you the opportunity to explore a variety of career paths and develop valuable skills in areas such as digital development, user research, data, cyber security, communication and problem solving.
No previous experience is needed! We're looking for people who are enthusiastic, motivated and eager to learn. If you have an interest in technology and a desire to develop new skills, we'll provide the training, support and opportunities you need to build a successful career in Digital, Data and Technology. All you need to bring is curiosity, commitment and a willingness to learn.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
