Google has officially opened applications for its 2025 Software Engineering Apprenticeship program in Paris, targeting aspiring tech professionals eager to launch their careers with one of the world’s leading technology companies. The program, which begins in September 2025, offers selected participants an immersive experience working directly with live Google engineering teams. Designed to foster early-career growth, this initiative provides a gateway into one of the most competitive sectors in tech.
The apprenticeship promises more than just theoretical knowledge—it offers practical, hands-on experience across core areas like software development, testing, project management, and coding. Google emphasizes that apprentices will rotate through multiple roles, gaining exposure to different functions within engineering teams while picking up in-demand technical skills such as programming in multiple languages and applying real-world problem-solving techniques.
One of the major highlights of the program is the mentorship component. Apprentices will be guided by experienced Google engineers, receive structured training, and work in a collaborative, inclusive environment. Google positions this opportunity as a potential game-changer for participants, citing global recognition, real-world skill development, and access to elite mentorship as key benefits. It’s an opportunity designed to set the stage for a robust tech career, especially for those who thrive in dynamic, learning-focused settings.
Eligibility is limited to individuals already authorized to work in France—this includes French citizens, EU students with work rights, and non-EU students with valid permits. Candidates must be enrolled in a qualifying academic program (either a Master 2 or an Engineering School path with a CFA affiliation) for the 2025/2026 year. Applicants should demonstrate fluency in English and French, a passion for tech, and the ability to work both independently and in teams. Applications must be submitted by April 30, 2025.
