Cable broadband ISP and TV provider Virgin Media<\/a> UK (Liberty Global) has announced that they will hire more than 400 new employees in graduate, intern and apprenticeship roles during 2021, which is said to mark a 163% increase from 2020.<\/p>\n

The new roles are being created to cover everything from operations to finance, marketing, project management, sales, construction and network engineering, helping individuals to build the skills and knowledge which will support their career.<\/p>\n

This week alone, 26 roles from six different apprentice schemes have launched to coincide with National Apprenticeship Week (8th – 14th February), with roles available now in London, Reading, Liverpool, Manchester, Peterborough, Birmingham, Wolverhampton, Leicester, Watford and Gateshead.<\/p>\n

Over the past 24 months, Virgin Media<\/a> has continued with recruitment drives and taken on 494 apprentices, graduates and interns. Employees have also been supported throughout the pandemic with remote team social events and virtual training sessions. Speaking of COVID-19, the operator has also recruited 1,250 UK-based contact centre roles in 2020 to help support its customers.<\/p>\n

Lutz Sch\u00fcler, CEO of Virgin Media<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Investing in our future workforce is at the heart of our business and, year on year, we have doubled the number of opportunities available.<\/p>\n

Our industry-leading gigabit broadband rollout and network expansion means that we are hiring quicker than ever in a diverse and exciting range of roles fit for the country\u2019s top talent.<\/p>\n

Through permanent contracts, on-the-job training and additional qualification opportunities, we are giving hundreds of people the opportunity to develop the skills they need to thrive throughout their career.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Further details can be found on VM’s careers website<\/a>. Admittedly though it hasn’t all been good news, with the operator’s decision last year to close their high street stores impacting over 300 jobs (here<\/a>), although they were given the opportunity to move to newly created customer care and sales roles within the company.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
