Notes
Paid year-long placements in the Department for Work and Pensions' digital teams, as fixed-term jobs at an entry grade, for undergraduates studying IT, computer science, a science, engineering or maths. A placement can lead to a permanent job at a higher grade. The page gives no dates, places or pay figure and points you to a mailing list. A separate unpaid 45-day placement for T Level students is not part of this row.
