21 Kickstarters have already joined our team
Our Kickstarters will be working across different teams at Bulb. These placements are designed for newly created jobs, so we’ve set up 2 brand new positions in our Experience and Operations teams.
Rich and Qaseem were the first to join our Operations team. For Qaseem, the best thing about this experience so far has been learning a wide range of skills from different vocations. “This has opened up so many doors in my future that I wouldn't have had the opportunity to go through before.” Rich feels the program is a great initiative to help young people, and would recommend anyone who is eligible to apply. For Rich, the most exciting part of the Kickstart program has been learning about an industry that is completely new to him.
We’ve partnered with Jolt, who provide online training as part of the placement
Jolt is an online business school that helps to further people’s careers through education. We’re working with Jolt to make sure the Kickstarters who join Bulb through the Kickstart scheme develop the skills they need to succeed in tech.
Joining Kickstart builds on our successful previous apprenticeship partnership with WhiteHat, where 70% of apprentices who joined Bulb through the programme went on to accept permanent roles.
