Welcome to the Academy for the Ambitious
Think of Oakland Futures as a launchpad, not a classroom. Four weeks. Real projects. Real clients. Real pressure (the good kind). If you’re hungry to break into the world of data, this is your chance to learn from some of the best in the business.
Why Oakland?
Oakland is one of the UK’s leading data consultancies and is home to some of the brightest minds in data, engineering, and analytics.

And when your four weeks are up? You’re not done. You’re an Oaklander, with a permanent role and the freedom to grow your career.
Work Hard. Learn Fast. Have Fun.
We’ll be honest - this programme isn’t for everyone. It’s intense, fast, and full-on. But you’ll also have a blast. Expect team breakfasts, laser tag, community days, and plenty of laughs in between the learning.
Location: Leeds (Hybrid – 4 days in the office, Monday to Thursday; Friday work from home).
