BT set to reopen graduate scheme - graduate jobs

Communications giant BT is to take on 113 new trainees next year when it reopens its graduate recruitment scheme.

Graduates can register and apply for the scheme on the firm's recruitment website which it has launched.

It comes after the employer was among one of the first to scrap the scheme this year in a bid to reduce costs.

Industry experts criticised the company over the move, saying it would damage its reputation and put people off applying in future.

However the firm has still taken on a total of 20 graduates this year - receiving some 2,500 applications for the 10 places it offered this summer.
