If so, then joining the ICT stream of BT’s graduate development programme could be the perfect career start for you.
What role could I do?
We are looking to recruit graduates into the following areas:

Do you have a burning interest in the culture-changing technology and philosophy behind Twitter, Facebook, smartphones (i.e. Apple iPhone, Google Android, etc), Open Source, mash-ups, Wikipedia and retail sites like Amazon.com and eBay? The key here is a deep understanding of and enthusiasm for the functionality and concepts behind the applications, especially the content management and user-generated social foundations of the sites. BT builds innovative software platforms across our SOA in 21CN and beyond. We are looking for outstanding candidates with skills in Java, .NET, C#, AJAX, agile/scrum methodologies, Web 2.0, video on demand, video over broadband, IPTV, etc.
From the very start you’ll work on real-life projects and get valuable hands-on experience.
