Levels three and four are A-Level standard while levels four to six are degree equivalent. Apprentices will be given full time roles once qualifications are attained.

Calls for more apprentices

O2 human resources director Ann Pickering said: “At O2, we understand the value that apprentices bring to our teams with their natural digital skills, unparalleled creativity, and fresh perspectives.

“This year we have expanded the scheme across a broad variety of roles, ranging from digital marketing to accountancy; offering more options to our applicants than ever before, whilst answering calls from across the business for more apprentices.

 “Ultimately, we recruit for attitude and train for skill so we want to bring people into the business who are ambitious and above all excited about a career in digital. If aspiring apprentices can make that enthusiasm and passion shine in their applications, they’ll be off to a good start.”
