WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD?

GET INTO TECHNOLOGY!

Smartphone culture and the way we engage with technology is slowly becoming enriched into our every living minute through gaming, entertainment, social media, retail, managing our finances, transport, and health.

Technology is transforming industries; driving efficiencies

within every organisation in the world, and making life easier

for everyone.

We can’t live without technology

The changes that we have already witnessed in our lives are

vast. The biggest leap into the digital revolution will be the

advancement of artificial intelligence and the Internet of

Things, as the growing data sets that we are creating from

our use of tech drives automation and robotics, enhancing

and eventually mimicking human consciousness.

This is the direction that the world is going in. There is no

going back. The implications of the future of cyber security

and how robots will interact are unknown. How human and

cognitive development is being impacted by our reliance on

tech is unknown.

TECHNOLOGY IS IN ITS INFANCY AND THE WORLD IS WIDE OPEN TO FRESH NEW THINKERS AND DIGITAL

LEADERS TO HELP DRIVE TECHNOLOGY IN THE RIGHT WAY AND IMPACT THE WORLD FOR GOOD.

I studied music at University and I am now a tester at PPL, helping to ensure that systems

are fully working in order for thousands of musicians all over the UK to get paid when

their music is played commercially.

I was really excited about starting in a tech career

within the music industry. Sparta Global helped me to

get here, with the right training, they invested so much

time into helping me achieve this. It’s unbelievable how

much I learned in just 12-weeks at their academy.

#SPARTANS4LIFE

I have been a technology consultant for over a year, and I speak to my

colleagues from the Sparta Global Academy programme every single day

through Whatsapp. We support each other and help each other out if we need anything. Working in tech is fast-paced so things are changing

and it’s helpful to share experiences with my peers to draw upon their

insight, to help me do my job better. I have my uni friends AND my Sparta

friends. I feel really lucky to have these support networks and different

social groups.

Francis McGowan Sparta Global Consultant, Norton Rose Bulbright

I am really happy that I am able to experience a new area and meet

different types of people during my time in Leeds, I've managed to make

new friends in the process as well as pick up new interests and hobbies.

It has opened the door for me to attend more technical discussions and

presentations as Leeds has a strong IT presence.

Working at Jet2 has given me more confidence in my technical ability as well as my interpersonal savvy. I'm often put into situations where I

have to find a person I've never met before and ask difficult questions, this

has helped me learn how to work with different personalities. Jet2 is also

giving me a chance to grow and think about my career moving forward,

opening avenues that I had not thought of previously. Personally, I have

made a great bunch of friends at Jet2, and I've gotten to see more of the

North!

I want to give back and see human impact of the work I’m doing in technology and business. Doing the project work with

the Princes Trust as part of the Sparta Global Academy was an

extremely nice thing to be involved with and it provided me with

hands-on commercial experience.

Shaq Reid-Robinson Spartan

It makes me feel good to know my contribution in technology has helped and will be helping many more people

and myself reach out to the less fortunate around the world. With

the easy and efficient online website built by STC, people around

the world can effectively make donations. Not only that, but with

STC fantastic innovations and incentives such as getting schools

etc involved, has made/will make it more fun for people to make

donations.

ATTENDING A SPARTA DAY TOP 10 TIPS

1 RESEARCH MORE ABOUT SPARTA GLOBAL BEFORE THE DAY

What does Sparta Global do? What type of projects do we run with our clients? What is our business model?

You can visit our company website at www.spartaglobal.com, browse social media, use LinkedIn...

2 TAKE TIME TO REFLECT ON YOUR MOTIVATION AND DRIVE

Why do you think the programme is a good fit for you? Why are you interested in Technology? Which skills

could you bring to our company? Maybe you are naturally curious and never get bored of learning new things?

Or you are a great problem solver? Start thinking about examples that tell a story about your skills and

competencies.

3 INVEST IN A GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION

Dress smart and professional, be punctual, bring your ID with you, introduce yourself professionally.

4 EXPLORE OUR COMPANY CULTURE ON SITE

Take advantage of our office-based assessment centre to learn more about the company values and

behaviours. Start a conversation with members of staff or current trainees. Get familiar with the Academy

environment. 

5 CONNECT WITH YOUR PEERS ON THE DAY

Get to know the other candidates from the get-go. Familiarise with their names. Introduce yourself. Be polite

and friendly. Form friendships throughout the day.

6SHOW GREAT ATTITUDE

Sit up and pay attention during the company presentation. Ask intelligent questions. Engage with the Talent

Team. Show self-awareness. Smile and talk positively about yourself, avoid negativity. Be conscientious:

remember that you are being evaluated and assessed at all times during the day.

7PUT YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD IN THE GROUP ACTIVITIES

This is your opportunity to shine. When it comes to group tasks, show that you are a great team player. If you

have an idea, put it forward and be confident. Do not be afraid to speak up. Be collaborative and respectful of

everyone’s opinion. Be courteous when working with your peers: don’t undermine other members of the group.

Try your best to win challenges and prove yourself.

8THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX TO SOLVE PROBLEMS

Technology is about innovation and creative thinking: when presented with a problem, probe all relevant

resources to solve it. Be analytical. Look beyond the obvious answer: we value individuals that can think in

different directions.

9TELL US YOUR STORY

Let your personality shine during the day. Tell us about yourself: what are you passionate about? What impact

would you like to have in the world? What are your strengths? Why do you want to get into Tech? Share your

ideas. Teach us something we may not know, inspire us! 

10BE POSITIVE AND PROFESSIONAL DURING THE INTERVIEW

Show commitment and enthusiasm. Be very clear on why you are passionate about the programme. Be

strategic: give real-life examples that prove your skills and explain why you are a good fit for the role. Ask how

you could have done better on the day. Show gratitude towards for the opportunity. If the assessors ask that

you undertake any further steps (e.g. complete a psychometric test from home) be prepared to be punctual

with any given deadline. Thank the interviewer for their time and stay in touch after the interview.
