Job Description
Information Technology is at the beating heart of our innovative business.
Software apprenticeship roles could involve working to design, develop, implement, test and support software applications that help BT to run its networks and systems. This could include anything from working on web applications, apps for smart phones and tablets or on BT’s internal systems. Regardless of the type of software role you do, at BT, you’ll get to experience the full deployment process in a large corporate environment.
BT’s Network is at the heart of everything we do; from sending a text, to air traffic control. BT is an ever growing company which means our network is constantly evolving. Apprentices play a key part to ensure that our networks are designed, tested, built and maintained with fresh, new, innovative ideas in mind. There is a broad array of network roles within BT. As an apprentice network engineer you’ll have the opportunity to get involved in a number of areas including testing the latest networking technology, upgrading the existing network and the planning, installing and running of network elements.
Within the network apprenticeship, the roles are technically orientated. So, if you have an interest in what goes on 'behind the screen' and you have a real passion and drive to learn how it all works, networks is the place for you.
The TV & Digital Media roles will get you involved in the design, delivery and support of BT TV and all the associated systems that have to work together to provide a complete, end to end, TV service. You’ll also be working on the design, delivery and support of BT’s UK and Global Media Networks which carries content for customers such as the BBC, ITV & Star TV. During your apprenticeship with BT TV & Content you will rotate around a number of teams. This will ensure you gain a full understanding of the broadcasting and IPTV technologies you study as part of your honours degree, whilst also giving you an opportunity to understand what is involved in providing the very best service to our customers.
During the apprenticeship you will work towards a BSc (Hons) Digital and Technology Solutions
Innovation is at the heart of BT’s business. Our Research and Innovation teams work at the cutting edge of new technologies, exploring how we and our customers can benefit from them. During your apprenticeship, you’ll work in a number of technical areas with our world-leading teams, helping to solve problems for our business and our customers. At the end of your apprenticeship you’ll be on your way to becoming an expert in your chosen specialism.
