A leading UK telecommunications company plans to hire over 600 apprentices and graduates for its September 2025 intake.

Over the past five years, BT Group has recruited more than 3,000 apprentices and graduates.

Opportunities this year will be available in fields such as cybersecurity, software engineering, and customer service.

The new roles will be based at BT Group sites across the UK, including Belfast, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Darlington, Ipswich, Leeds, London, Manchester, Sheffield, and Warrington.

Athalie Williams, chief human resources officer at BT Group, said: “I’m incredibly proud of the opportunities we provide to develop new talent at BT Group and recognise the valuable contributions graduates and apprentices bring to the workforce.

“Last year alone, we recruited around 500 apprentices and graduates, all eager to learn, develop their skills, and help deliver better experiences for our customers.”

The news comes ahead of National Apprenticeship Week next week (February 10 - 16), an annual celebration that highlights the value of apprenticeships for individuals, businesses, and the economy.

The week features events, employer-led initiatives, and success stories from apprentices across various industries, and provides opportunities for businesses to promote apprenticeship opportunities.

Last year, BT introduced a new apprenticeship fund to support smaller businesses, charities, and public sector organisations across England. The fund offers up to £4 million in funding over an initial four-year period.
