BT Group has today announced plans to recruit more than 30[1] apprentices and graduates in Birmingham for its September 2024 intake.
The company will recruit talent into the company across areas as diverse as software engineering, customer service, applied research, data analytics and cyber-security to support the UK's fast-growing digital sectors.
A total of 33 positions will be recruited to including 18 graduate positions and 15 apprenticeships.
The new roles will be based at BT's state-of-the-art new offices at Three Snowhill in the city's business district. A further apprentice will be recruited in nearby Walsall.
The building which officially opened in December 2021 forms part of BT Group's Better Workplace Programme- the largest workplace improvement programme and consolidation scheme of its type ever undertaken in the UK.
Abi Milne is currently undergoing an apprenticeship at BT's Snowhill site. Speaking about her experiences she said: "A misconception about apprenticeship schemes is that you are just an assistant and aren't solely accountable for anything, however my experiences have proved the complete opposite.
"When I reflect on my current position based on my ability three years ago it reveals notable progress, showcasing substantial growth in my knowledge and expertise"
