Software Application Development Apprenticeship, March 2025

The Google Software Application Development Apprenticeship is a learning and development program for 12 months. Apprentices are expected to join in person at their assigned in-office location and participate full-time (~40 hours, weekly) throughout the program. The program includes work experience with a Google team supported by external training to empower those looking to start a career in Software Application Development.

You will spend 20% of your time studying in a tailored training program and the rest of the time on projects with assigned Google teams to gain direct experience.

You will get exposure to a range of different roles across the company including coding, development, testing, and project management.

Additionally, you will learn how to apply problem-solving skills to real-life challenges, pick up new technical skills such as programming in multiple languages, learn about software testing and other industry practices, and see how software is designed and developed.
