Training and development

Live projects

Following a week’s induction, you and your fellow interns will work together as a team on a live technical project for the firm. What’s important is that you’ll have responsibility for the full lifecycle - from taking the initial brief to project planning, programming, testing and delivery.

Teamwork

Running alongside your project, you will have a range of development opportunities with other teams in the department. So, in your first few weeks when you are gathering requirements, you will spend time learning from our Business Analysts. Then you’ll meet with Project Managers to learn more about our Agile working environment and see how other teams put Agile methods into practice.

There will also be exposure to quality analysis and development procedures, plus the chance to see first-hand the work of testers and developers. So, as you spend time with the experts, you will be able to apply what you learn directly to your project.

Mentorship

You’ll meet and build a relationship with our experienced technical and business leads, who will support you for the duration of your time with us.

I’ve been impressed by how much Baillie Gifford aims to develop its people, in all aspects. There's been a great mix of both technical and professional skills training.
