EE, the digital communications company, is creating more than 1,000 jobs and nearly tripling the size of its apprenticeship scheme in the UK.

The recruitment drive will see EE bring back 1,000 customer service jobs to the UK from overseas service centres, with plans for approximately 250 roles in Northern Ireland from Spring 2014.

In addition, following the apprenticeship scheme first announced in March 2013, EE plans to nearly triple the size of the programme to have provided opportunities to more than 1,300 young people by the end of 2015.

Olaf Swantee, chief executive officer at EE, says: “Our plans to triple our apprenticeship programme will play a significant role in tackling youth unemployment in many areas, and bring a large number of digitally skilled employees into the business.”

Today’s announcement follows the recent news that EE is expanding its presence on high streets across the UK in 2014, creating about an additional 350 jobs.
