UK Defence Veterans - Civilian Work Attachment

About Faculty

Faculty transforms organisational performance through safe, impactful and human-led AI. 

We are Europe’s leading applied AI company, and saw its potential a decade ago - long before the current hype cycle.

We were founded in 2014 with our Fellowship programme, training academics to become commercial data scientists. 

Today, we provide over 300 global customers with industry-leading software, and bespoke AI consultancy for retail, healthcare, energy, and governmental organisations, as well as our award winning Fellowship. 

Our expertise and safety credentials are such that OpenAI asked us to be their first technical partner, helping customers deploy cutting-edge generative AI safely.

Our high-impact work has saved lives through forecasting NHS demand during covid, produced green energy by routing boats towards the wind, slashed marketing spend by predicting customer spending habits, and kept children safe online. 

AI is an epoch-defining technology. We want people to join us who can help our customers reap its enormous benefits safely.

About the opportunity:

Are you a Veteran who is exiting the service? Looking to better understand how a leading Tech company works, or interested in a future career within AI or Data science? Faculty, a leading UK AI company, is offering opportunities throughout the year for service veterans to complete a work placement (unpaid “Civilian Work Attachment"). 

Whether it’s analysing intelligence, coordinating operations, extracting insights, or driving decision-making, AI is the tool of the UK’s military – and the advantage that tomorrow’s forces need to protect British citizens.

At Faculty, our custom machine learning software is helping defence companies tackle the sector’s
latest challenges and opportunities. From surveillance and reconnaissance, through to autonomous systems and combat service support. 

We will host you for one week at our London offices in Old Street, and aim to provide educational and structured engagement with different roles, processes and people across our Defence Business Unit.
