No two projects are exactly alike. You could support healthcare, financial services, public sector, federal sector, automotive, energy, retail, industrial, or manufacturing clients. You'll gain hands-on project experience, professional and technical mentoring, career coaching, industry-recognized certifications, and exposure to emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence and automation. Your journey is unique, and so is your career path. As you begin your career at IBM, you'll be aligned to the technology practice that best matches business needs, your academic background, technical skills, project experience, and career interests. Many of our associates join IBM with a broad foundation in computer science or software engineering, not prior experience in a specific platform or technology. You do not need experience in every listed technology. Through structured learning, mentorship, certifications, and hands-on client projects, you'll build specialized expertise within your assigned practice while developing the consulting, communication, and technical skills needed to solve complex business challenges. As part of our Microsoft practice, you'll work on solutions that leverage Microsoft technologies to improve customer experiences, business processes, and operational efficiency. You'll collaborate with experienced consultants, developers, architects, and AI specialists while gaining exposure to enterprise-scale projects across multiple industries. We're not looking for experts; we hire for potential, curiosity, and a passion for learning. Whether you've built software in the classroom, participated in hackathons, completed internships, or worked on personal projects, we'd love to meet you. During your first year, you'll build technical expertise, earn certifications, contribute to client projects, strengthen your consulting and communication skills, and establish a strong foundation for long-term career growth at IBM. Work Arrangement: Hybrid: 4 days a week in office based on project requirements To give yourself the best opportunity for success, we advise applying only to roles that align with your skills and experience, rather than applying broadly across all entry-level positions. You'll receive a status update email for each application, so be sure to check your IBM Careers account regularly - it's the best way to get a centralized view of which roles you have active applications against. ## Related Videos - [How a Small Team Shrank a Microsoft Monorepo by 94%](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1236-how-a-small-team-shrank-a-microsoft-monorepo-by-94) - [From DevOps to Scaled DevOps: How We’re Rebuilding Continuous Delivery as a Platform](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100018-from-devops-to-scaled-devops-how-we-re-rebuilding-continuous-delivery-as-a-platform) - [Kubernetes and Microservices with Multi-Model Databases](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/382-kubernetes-and-microservices-with-multi-model-databases) - [Can This Elephant Dance?
