Your application journey    
Here’s what to expect, step by step: 
Step 1 – Apply online 
Tell us a bit about yourself — your details, your degree, and anything else you think we should know (like part-time jobs, volunteering, or cool projects you’ve worked on). 
Once you hit submit, keep an eye on your inbox (and your junk folder!) — we’ll send you a link to start your digital assessments. 
Please note, you can only apply to one programme per year.
Step 2 – Show us your skills 
You’ll complete two online assessments designed to help us get to know you better — how you think, what motivates you, and how you might fit into the programme. 
Don’t worry - you’ll get a chance to practice first, and we’ll send you tips to help you feel confident. 
We understand that you might want to utilise AI to support your preparation for taking the assessments – understanding Sky etc. But we ask that you complete the assessments themselves without the assistance of AI.  
Want to go a step further? Check out our Preparation Hub — it’s packed with practice exercises, insights into the assessment process, and stories from current grads and apprentices. You’ll even learn more about your values, learning style, and the kind of work that suits you.
Step 3 – Virtual Assessment Centre  
If you make it to the final stage, we’ll invite you to a virtual assessment day. 
You’ll take part in a range of activities designed to show us how you think, solve problems, and work with others — all while getting a real feel for what it’s like to work in the Business Graduate Programme at Sky. 
We'll let you know when to expect a decision once the assessment day has taken place.
Need Support? If you need us to make any adjustments to help you complete any stage of your application, let us know when you submit your application and someone from our Early Careers team will get in touch if we need more detail.
So why wait?
This is your chance to be part of something big. Our internship puts you right at the centre of the action — learning, growing, and helping make the magic of Sky happen every day. No matter your background, interests, or degree subject, there’s space here for your ideas and ambition. 
A career at Sky is where better begins — and it starts with you.
