Pearson offers real entry points through paid internships, apprenticeships, and a steady stream of junior operations and support roles, with some postings showing clear pay ranges. Pearson also shares tangible process detail for some early-career hiring, including assessment-centre style steps on internship adverts. The main limiter is outcomes visibility: public signals on progression are mixed, and Pearson does not publish early-career promotion, retention, or internship conversion metrics.
