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

No published policyGraduate Schemes

Unconfirmed. Virgin Media O2 publishes no sponsorship policy for its graduate schemes, so we cannot state a firm answer. Virgin Media O2 runs rotational graduate schemes across the business, each with its own deadline rather than one common closing date. Graduates get a buddy, scheme sponsors, line managers and a Future Careers team, and selection runs through an online strengths assessment. The company aims for everyone finishing a scheme to move into a permanent role, usually at least one grade above their graduate job. Its FAQ asks whether international students can apply and answers that it welcomes applications from everyone, but it does not say whether it will sponsor a visa, and it publishes no salary.

The catch: The welcome to international students is not a sponsorship commitment. Virgin Media O2 also warns that its mobility policy does not cover your initial rotation locations, so the first move is at your own cost.
