What’s On the Class Room Cards For Learners at Sky Betting

The first fourteen weeks are made up of a high intensity boot camp in which learners will be introduced to the various Sky Betting methodologies. In this they will also be given classes which will aid in sharpening their business skills. Thereafter, they will be introduced to the various tribes within Sky Betting & Gaming;

  • Bet
  • Gaming
  • Data
  • International

They will circulate within these sections for the remaining nine months. Thereafter, all candidates will be assigned a permanent position within one of the four Sky Bet Tribes. During their twelve months spent within the academy, the candidates will be paid a competitive full-time salary.

Sky Betting & Gaming CTO, Andy Burton recently stated: “By investing in graduates now we hope to play our part in ensuring there’s a pipeline of tech talent in Yorkshire. I look forward to welcoming the first grads in the summer.”

Sky Betting has also announced that a similar program will be launched within the next few weeks in which candidates will be focusing on the commercial aspects as opposed to technological side of the company. All in all there are a lot of exciting things afoot at Sky Bet & Gaming. We at Casino UK are thrilled to see the growth and expansion which is about to take place within our casino world and wish each and every candidate all the best!
