Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
1/5
I think there is a lack of solid structure especially on times for studying and how it is left to the vices of the individual trainee/apprentice
How much support do you receive from your employer?
1/5
I have only just been getting support and I have found the whole structure and path to my apprenticeship difficult due to the lack of credible support which causes low moral and stressful days.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
1/5
I am not sure I have had any at all over the time I have been working towards my qualification.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
1/5
I have been on 3 different role since starting with the training at Openreach and it has been difficult to date to perfect any one of the skills due to the many different roles.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
1/5
Due to the Virus I do not think this question can be answered fully. At present i know none of the above.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BT Group to a friend?
No
Why?
Too much unfairness and lack of diversity which I find very strange for such a large company with many years of business and workforce being so large. In regards to diversity; I have not seen any seniors that are women and not of ethnic backgrounds since being here, bar one individual.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BT Group?
Ask lots of questions, get fully kitted with tools and work wear, and prepare yourself for lonely days with little help from seniors due to them not knowing the job in the field.
