Your Role and Responsibilities
IBM Apprenticeship Program, which lasts approximately 12 months, is an official registered apprenticeship recognized by the Department of Labor

you are developing the skills and competencies essential to the role. You will be able to learn and grow at your own pace, but we expect most
apprentices will complete their learning within 12 months. Once you graduate and receive your certificate from our apprentice program, you will be
eligible to apply to available full-time roles at IBM.

milestones along the way, earning digital credentials to validate your skills, and will come back together with other apprentices to participate in on-
going training and development focused on your professional and technical skills.
