Pathways success stories

 "The Pathways programme was a unique opportunity to re-start my career in technology. I felt a little bit overwhelmed at the idea of starting all over again, but the programme helped me build my confidence up through the supported training and development.” 

Kouassi
Associate Infrastructure Engineer

"I am slightly older than the typical frontline technician, but I was drawn to the Pathways programme because of the flexibility it offered as I have had several periods of family responsibilities. It gave me the chance to work in a large organisation and in what appeared to be, and turned out to be, a very supportive environment.”

Andrew
Technical Support

“Sage really cares about my future and I can see myself having a long career here. There are always opportunities to move around. Currently, I am working as a graduate developer in back-end development, but one day, I might move to front-end development – it is great to know that I will be able to do different things. I think I could stay with Sage for at least 20 years.”

Teclaire
Graduate Developer

Frequently asked questions

The majority of roles are full-time with flexibility. Let us know what you need, and we’ll work with you.

Absolutely. Right away, you’ll have access to Talent Marketplace, an internal system that uses artificial intelligence to create a path for growth. It also connects you to different parts of the business with options to join project groups or gigs for additional skills. Talent Marketplace puts gaining new experiences easily within reach for all colleagues.

We aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Let us know how we can break down barriers so you can unleash your potential. Email us at [email protected] to make your application experience more accessible, then continue the conversation with the recruiter during the first interview.

Yes. It’s not uncommon that candidates pursue the Pathways programme to break into tech, however some roles will ask for some formal training or experience. The job advert will outline these specifics. We’ll assess your technical ability as part of the interview process, then develop an onboarding plan to support your transition.

Embrace it ! The Pathways programme is designed for active learning. We want you to always be curious and ask lots of questions. If you’re looking for input from an expert, reach out to your mentor. Or, if you’d rather bounce thoughts off a fellow colleague, your peer mentor or ‘buddy’ as we call them at Sage, is a Teams chat or desk away.

Pathways roles are also designed with flexibility in mind. Right away, you’ll receive training during onboarding and learn about resources that support your wellbeing. Be sure to also let your manager know what you need so they can be in your corner.

Definitely. Our millions of customers are counting on our products to help them run their businesses better, and we need every person at Sage to achieve this.

Our Pathways roles are hybrid based meaning you’ll get a mix of working in the office and at home. We want you to get the most out of your Sage experience and found that office days spent collaborating with the team accelerate growth. All colleagues, however, have the option to work-away for up to 10-weeks.

We’re so glad you care, because so do we. Check out how we’re doing our part in making the world a better place, and how you can contribute too when you join Sage. Explore our DEI page.
