1. Alex Wilson Group HR Director BT as a learning organisation

5. Delivering world class skills in BT - the ‘skills escalator’ Current apprenticeship programmes are limited to ‘advanced’ and ‘higher’, delivering Level 3 and Level 4 qualifications respectively. Potential to develop this model to other areas of learning e.g. finance, and other parts of BT. Progression from foundation degree to honours degree is not subject to additional funding. Higher apprentices may provide a compelling alternative to graduates. Potential (currently untapped) funded learning programmes.

6. Talent feed Graduates MBAs Direct hires Internal promotions Apprentices
