BT and EE to Create 1,400 New UK Apprenticeship and Graduate Jobs

Thursday, Feb 18th, 2016 (10:57 am) - Score 1,005

Telecoms operator BT has today announced that it is set to create “around” 1,400 new apprenticeship and graduate jobs in 2016, which will involve related employees working in a range of roles from cybersecurity to engineering.

Apparently the roles will be spread across the company with EE and BTOpenreach both taking on large numbers (Openreach will take about a third), as will BT’s research and development arm at Adastral Park in Suffolk. Most of the vacancies will be created in the major cities of Glasgow, London, Swansea, Belfast, Leeds, Liverpool, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.

Gavin Patterson, CEO of BT, said:

“Technology is changing all the time and companies need to support and train young people to develop the skills required for successful careers in essential areas such as science, engineering and IT. The UK has been ranked as the leading digital economy in the G20 for the past five years, and our investment in these people will help this continue.”

It’s worth adding that BT has already created 1,700 apprenticeship and graduate jobs over the past two years, so to add 1,400 in a single year is quite a big boost.
