The Application Process

Step 1: Create your profile

  • Begin by signing up on our Career Starter platform with your email and a password.

  • Complete a short eligibility sign-up form to start building your profile.

Step 2: Build and Complete Your Profile

  • Answer short questions that help us understand your background and ambitions.

  • Utilise the guidance on the platform to enhance the quality of your profile, which will serve as your portfolio when applying for roles.

Step 3: Profile Review and Approval

  • After completing your profile and any required skills assessments, it will be reviewed by our Admissions team within 5 working days.

Step 4: Application and Interview Process

What does Building and Completing a Profile involve?

Utilise the progress tracker within the Multiverse platform to guide you through the necessary steps. Note that the platform profile tracker measures completion, not content- so if there is a hold at any stage the Admissions team may be reviewing content towards feedback, eligibility, and approval to progress. Steps involve:

Profile Completion

  • Use this linked polishing checklist to serve as directions to guide the completion of your profile content. Your profile serves as your portfolio for any future role you apply for, so spend time and build it out with detail and care!

Situational Judgment Test Completion

  • The Situational Judgment Test (SJT) is designed to assess your response to scenarios that you may encounter during the Multiverse Apprenticeship. Learn more here.
