You might be wondering is there a typical ‘BT apprentice’?
Well the answer is no. Our apprentices come from a diverse range of backgrounds and have a wide variety of skills, interests and experiences. It’s what makes them a force to be reckoned with.
When I was at school, I knew that I wanted to work in the accountancy & finance sector but wasn’t quite sure how to achieve that goal. When I found out that there were varied avenues I could take to get there it was obvious to me that an apprenticeship was the best option.
For me working on what you are learning is the whole point of an apprenticeship, and really helps solidify your academic studies. I enjoy the balance of working and studying.
The apprenticeship route was ideal, it gave me the ability to leave school and go straight into work whilst still gaining that same level of academic qualification as I would at university. I loved that I could become a fully qualified accountant and do a full time job at the same time!
Getting offered an apprenticeship with BT was brilliant. I came straight from school, I’m 17, and am earning whilst I learn a job that I can grow in.
I saw BT as a massive opportunity and an apprenticeship as a stepping stone for a long term career with the company. As my journey continues, I am more and more excited to see what the future brings.
I really enjoy the fact I get to rotate around the business, meet different people from different areas and background. I am learning something new all the time where every day is not the same.
I chose the apprenticeship route into work because I wanted to carry on learning rather than jumping straight into a job. This way I can earn while I learn and I have a job that I’m qualified for at the end of the apprenticeship.
During my short time here at BT I have already had the opportunity to take a tour round the BT Sport studios, and also go up to the top of the BT Tower, both amazing experiences which I thoroughly enjoyed.
