List of Apprenticeships

Apprentices work in a broad-based industry that covers the design, manufacture, distribution, resale, installation, maintenance, operation and support of voice, data and image communications systems. Apprentices need to be flexible and multi-skilled.

This sector is important for the growth of the UK economy in the 21st Century because it helps build and maintain the technologies that keep UK businesses running.

Large-scale recruitment and increased skills are essential if the UK is to continue being a big player in the contact centre market.
