Belfast-based Barclay Communications is set to welcome the first intake of a new telecom engineer apprenticeship scheme which includes working towards a City & Guilds Level 3 qualification in ICT Systems and Principles.
"The goal of the scheme is to give school leavers the opportunity to earn and learn in one of the fastest growing sectors," said Barclay Communications founder and MD Britt Megahey.
“Our goal behind this launch is to invest in the youth of Northern Ireland by giving them a job that includes learning a dedicated skill with training and development as they go through college."
The launch follows strong demand for cloud telephony systems since BT announced its intentions to switch off all traditional ISDN and PSTN lines by December 2025.
