The wide range of positions that will be available include software engineering, customer service, applied research, data analytics, and cyber-security. This initiative aims to support the flourishing digital sectors within the United Kingdom. These roles will be spread across several state-of-the-art offices located across the UK, which are part of BT Group’s Better Workplace Programme. This programme is considered the largest of its kind in the UK and comprises a workplace improvement scheme and consolidation program.
The locations for these apprenticeships and graduate schemes include Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Darlington, Ipswich, Leeds, London, Manchester, Sheffield, and Warrington. BT Group, a leading private sector apprenticeship employer in the UK, has already recruited more than 3,000 apprentices and graduates over the last five years. The company is willing to provide apprenticeships from different levels, such as level two, equivalent to GCSE, to level seven, which is a master’s degree.
In 2023, BT Group was ranked second in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers in the UK. As part of their Manifesto for responsible, inclusive, and sustainable growth, the company has pledged to establish a more diverse talent pool. Elaine Bergin, Director of Colleague Experience at BT Group, has spoken about the initiative saying, “As one of the largest private sector employers of apprentices and graduates in the UK, we continue to recruit and attract brilliant people into our business, and we offer unparalleled opportunities to those who join us.”
The recruitment of such individuals will build a pipeline of future talent, aiding in the growth of their business.
