Network Engineer Apprentice Review

Installing and configuring network equipment. Engaging with stakeholders and delivering on projects committed within financial quarters.

Communication, Professionalism, configuring devices, team building are all new skills I developed. Existing skills that I improved would include communication but also my confidence.

I enjoyed this programme quite well. It had it's fair share of ups and downs but overall, I enjoyed the programme and the colleagues I worked with.

Fairly well. I underwent 6-month-long rotations which would take me into different parts of the business. I got to see a variety of teams and experience different types of work.

I receive a lot of support from my employer. My line manager is really supportive as is the people I work with in my team. This hasn't always been the case but I can say now that I am receiving a lot of support.

My training provider, UoS, wasn't the best when supporting my qualifications. There were some standout individuals that were really supportive and helpful but, overall, the support was lacklustre.

Barely. Majority of the modules I undertook in Uni do not apply to what I do in my day-to-day role.

Yes, there are a lot of events that BT are involved in both external and internal. There are also social activities and sports-events that you can get involved in.

Yes

The salary is good for my age, I have a degree with no debt and, whilst undertaking the degree, there are loads of people that have years of technical knowledge that can help and support you.

Be yourself, let others share their ideas and engage in a co-operative discussion.
