BT’s new apprentice and graduate drive in Scotland


BT is creating more than 100 new apprenticeship and graduate jobs in Scotland this year as it invests heavily to ensure the UK remains one of the world’s leading digital economies. Apprentices will be recruited


across Scotland with graduate roles in Glasgow. More than 30 of the new


apprentice roles will be at BT’s contact centre in Glasgow, where they’ll help customers with their bills and handle 999 calls and another 15 of the jobs will be based at BT’s office in Dundee, Telephone House. It’s the base for BT’s biggest customer contact


centre in Scotland dealing with a wide range of customer calls, including enquiries about BT Sport, high-speed fibre broadband and mobile communications. Across the UK, BT will employ


around 1,400 new apprentices and graduates in a range of roles from cybersecurity and software development to research and innovation. The roles will be spread across the company with mobile phone operator EE and BT’s local network business, Openreach, both taking on large numbers as will BT’s research and development arm.
