Our experience of employing
Apprentices
“Apprenticeships are undoubtedly good
for BT’s business and play a key role in
ensuring that we maintain and develop a
highly skilled workforce. More

great way to transform their raw
enthusiasm into valuable skills that that
will serve them well wherever their
careers take them.”
