Want to move into data, but every job wants experience you can't get without the job? Whether you've just graduated, you're changing direction, or returning to work — we built a way in. iO-Sphere works with Oxfordshire employers who need data people — Data Coordinators, Data Administrators, Reporting Analysts, MI and data roles — and who'd rather hire on proven ability than CV keywords. So instead of sifting applications, we select candidates through a 10-week programme where you work on real data and prove what you can do. Our partner employers then hire directly from the cohort.
It's fully funded by Enterprise Oxfordshire through the Skills Bootcamps programme — free to you, no fees to the employer. Just a better way to match talent to opportunity.
How it works:
- Apply — quick eligibility check and a short screening call
- Join the cohort — 10 weeks working in PRISM, our simulated company with 500m+ rows of real data
- Build a portfolio — Excel, Power BI, BigQuery, AI tools and real stakeholder projects
- Meet employers — partners hire the best directly from the cohort
- Get placed — if a partner doesn't hire you, you get continued career coaching until you land a role
Over 800 people we've trained now work at companies including Ocado, Cook Food, and Dunelm.
This is for you if:
- You're a recent graduate, a career-changer, or returning to work and ready for something new
- You're analytical and numerate, with strong written and spoken English
- You can commit full-time for 10 weeks from 6 July 2026
- You live in Oxfordshire and have the right to work in the UK (no sponsorship)
This isn't for you if:
- You can't commit full-time for the 10 weeks
We strongly encourage applications from women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans, parents, and people with disabilities. Reasonable adjustments available throughout.
