BT is one of the world’s leading providers of communications services and solutions. We’re more than just a broadband

Apprenticeships. We’re here to create the next big thing in technology and we want to take you on our journey with us.
There are no limits to what people can do. If only we connect. And as technology changes our world, the connections people
make can be simple or complex, helpful or harmful; connections for good or for bad. That’s why we’re here – we connect for
good. We champion these connections and harness the power of technology to help solve some of the world’s biggest
challenges, from climate change to cyber security. We empower people and organisations to get more out of this emerging
world; removing limits and unlocking their potential.
