Virgin Media O2: does its apprenticeship schemes sponsor a UK visa?

No published policyApprenticeship Schemes (engineering, digital, business and customer)

Unconfirmed. Virgin Media O2 publishes no sponsorship policy for its apprenticeship schemes, so we cannot state a firm answer. Virgin Media O2 runs apprenticeships across engineering, digital, business and customer facing roles. They last two to three years, with around 20 percent of the time set aside for study towards a nationally recognised qualification. The levels span intermediate at Level 2, equivalent to five good GCSE passes, through advanced at Level 3, higher at Level 4 or 5, and degree apprenticeships at Level 6 or 7. You must be over 16, and the company states plainly that there is no upper age limit. Some roles require a full UK driving licence.
