Your career. Your choice.
Looking to start your career as a Software Engineer, Data Engineer, UX Designer, Data Scientist, Business Analyst, Mobile App Dev or are you unsure about what direction to take in tech? Starting your career with Mantel Group is about supporting you to grow into the career of your choice.
Ready to explore your career?
Whether you’re a University or Bootcamp graduate, self-taught or transitioning to a career in tech, our emerging talent programs are as unique as you are.
Set over 12 weeks, this program supports people returning, or transitioning, to a career in tech. The focus is on providing hands-on practical learning that complements existing professional experience with recently acquired tech knowledge.
Self taught and recent Graduates
A 12-month program for recent graduates as you embark on your first professional career. The program is co-designed with you for a tailored, individualised journey that enables you to be the best you can (and love what you’re doing at the same time!)
As you start, it’s all about developing and growing
Learning is much more fluid in the workplace – you can learn as little or as much as you want and you will be supported whatever path you choose. The only question to ask is how far do you want to go?
