Why Choose Virgin Media O2?
Virgin Media O2 uses a fully 'blind recruitment' approach to ensure fair assessment based on potential, not background. Apprentices work towards a Level 2 Telecoms Field qualification over 13 months, gaining hands-on experience in installing broadband, phone, and TV services while maintaining the company's gigabit network.
This initiative follows the company's milestone of hiring its 1,000th apprentice earlier this year and the launch of a £1 million Apprenticeship Talent Fund. This fund supports women and individuals from global majority backgrounds by covering training costs for smaller organisations, breaking down barriers to STEM careers.
