HOW WE WORK

Attract – Our award-winning Marketing team use a range of bespoke, targeted attraction campaigns to reach the highest potential people from a diverse range of backgrounds. These include paid digital campaigns, with clients, internal retraining programs, and CSR partnerships. Find out more here. 

Assess  – We assess applicants through a competency-based process and select candidates based on their mindset and capability rather than education or experience. This includes:

• A 3-stage assessment process to gain access to the program, including a solo interview, aptitude test, and group assessment that involves a JavaScript lesson and group problem-solving activity
• 2 weeks of pre-course digital learning to cover the basics of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

This allows us to assess key skills like intellectual horsepower, logic, pattern-finding, learning on the fly, perseverance and problem solving which are all necessary to thrive during tech training and employment.

Train  – Training is delivered by our in-house team of expert instructors over a full-time 12-week period. All curriculum has been written by _nology based on the feedback our client partners provide about what skills they need. This is hands-on, in-demand, modern training in Software Development and Cloud Engineering, including:

• A 3-month, full-time tech training accelerator
• Practical project delivery from day 1
• Hands-on coding
• Daily stand-ups to review any issues
• Ongoing quality assessments, including technical coding, presentations, group projects, and interviews

After a successful 18-month placement, there’s the option for the _nologists to turn into permanent employees.

RETRAINING & BESPOKE TEAMS

We can transform your existing, non-technical employees into job-ready technologists with our upskilling accelerator. By running our competency based assessments, we can identify the individuals in your workforce that could thrive as technologists. We run cobranded attraction campaigns to encourage non-technical staff to retrain, with emails and bespoke landing pages on our websites with further information and application forms.

Through retraining, our clients make significant savings on recruitment, and experience a positive effect on staff morale, external PR, and staff retention. You can read an overview of our upskilling accelerator here.

Our 12-week tech accelerators ensure they complete their training with the skills they need to add value from day one. We can build a tailored, branded retraining programme specifically for your employees. Learn about the bespoke retraining program we created for Accenture here.

We can also build you a bespoke workforce. We attract, assess, train, and support a tech team tailored to your requirements. We find intelligent, hardworking, passionate individuals from underrepresented groups who demonstrate all the right soft skills to add significant value to your business. We train them in the skill set and tech stack you need, creating a new tech team who are ready to hit the ground running.
