https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.php/2018/03/openreach-uk-to-hire-3500-trainee-fttp-engineers-over-next-12-months.html

As first hinted in February (here), Openreach (BT) has today confirmed that they will hire 3,500 new trainee engineers over the next 12 months. The recruits are needed to help the operator deliver on its promise to make 1Gbps capable FTTP “full fibre” broadband available to 3 million premises by 2020.

The recruitment drive is said to be the “largest” single influx of new engineers in Openreach’s history and it will also result in a similar increase among the telecom operator’s supply chain, which when taken together should support the creation of around 5,000 new jobs in Britain over the coming year.

This is good news!
