Getting you to where you want to be At the Kainos Academy, knowledge is shared, talent is promoted, and anything is possible

Welcome to the Kainos Academy


We created the Kainos Academy in 2011 with two main goals: firstly, to tackle the tech industry’s digital skills gap and secondly, to ensure that once people joined Kainos, they can get to where they want to be.
​​​​​​​

Since then, it has grown to become an industry leading training and career development programme. With over £1 million spent each year, our learning and development initiatives break the mould to provide new routes into tech. The only prerequisites? A keenness to learn, and a desire to change the world.

From beginner to game-changer

We believe learning should be life-long. That’s why the initiatives that make up the Kainos Academy serve everyone –
regardless of where you are on your journey.
