Mentor & Apprentice is a pathway to the IT consulting industry for aspiring talents who are eager to work on meaningful projects and solve challenging problems. You may be at the beginning of your career or willing to turn a new page in your professional story (1–3 years of working experience).

The most important thing is your curiosity, enthusiasm to learn new skills, and willingness to grow into an IT consultant role working closely with the customer. M&A is a safe environment for learning the skills needed to succeed as a consultant, in actual real-life projects.

We will have four streams: software development, cloud engineering, business process automation, and test automation. Each stream recruits 2–4 people. Our instructors and mentors are skilled experts with years of experience in the IT industry. They are all passionate about helping others and teaching solid development principles.

What we offer:

• A 2-week intensive training where you learn the skills needed to work and succeed as a consultant.
• Experienced mentoring and a learning path to kickstart your journey as a consultant and to understand a consultant’s mindset: when we do something, the result brings value to the customer and end-users. And it can be fun, too!
• Work as a part of multi-talented project team supported by a mentor, including developers, designers, project management, and customers. You get to use Scrum-like methods and have meaningful assignments.
• A permanent, full-time job with a competitive salary and benefits.
• M&A is a win-win for everybody. Apprentices bring fresh thinking and energy to the teams, benefitting both the customer and teams.
• Siili has a long history of working with junior developers. Mentor & Apprentice program has been active since 2016.

Test automation brings many benefits to the software development lifecycle by eliminating human error, providing faster feedback cycles, decreasing the time to market, and overall, making the development teams' and customers' life much easier and less stressful.

As a test automation apprentice, you will learn modern test automation tooling and processes needed to thrive in the world of test automation. In addition, you get to witness the pipeline of modern software development from backlog to production.
