An exciting opportunity for aspiring tech professionals has emerged as Google announces the opening of applications for its Software Application Development Apprenticeship, set to commence in March 2025.
This initiative targets students who have either completed their degrees or are not currently enrolled in a Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD program in computer science or related fields. Interested candidates can apply through the official Google careers website at google.com/about/careers until October 23.
Designed to last 12 months, the apprenticeship will provide participants with invaluable hands-on experience in software development. The application process is expected to take between 18 to 24 weeks, allowing ample time for evaluation and selection. Candidates must hold a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in computer science or a closely related subject, along with less than a year of coding experience. Proficiency in at least two programming languages, including Java, C++, or Python, is essential.
Preferred qualifications for applicants include familiarity with Google Workspace or similar productivity tools, as well as strong organizational skills and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. Google is particularly interested in candidates with excellent communication abilities and a positive attitude towards customer service.
Through this apprenticeship, participants will have the chance to learn and adhere to coding standards, engage with teams on various software development projects, and contribute to platforms approved by Google. Apprentices can choose to work on-site from any of Google’s offices located in Bengaluru, Gurgaon, Hyderabad, or Mumbai.
This program not only enhances candidates’ technical skills but also provides a pathway to potential full-time employment opportunities at one of the world’s leading technology companies. As the tech industry continues to evolve, this apprenticeship represents a significant stepping stone for youth looking to launch their careers at Google.
