In the UK there is a reawakened interest in Apprenticeships as a way of addressing skills shortages. Apprenticeships include on-the-job learning and assessment as well as elements which deliver the underpinning knowledge that is necessary to work effectively. 

Delivering some aspects of an apprenticeship depend on the availability of skilled trainers with the appropriate industrial, technical knowledge but these are a scarce resource.

PTT has used its years of experience of vocational training in the telecoms sector to design a cost-effective and innovative way of delivering the technical knowledge component of a telecommunications apprenticeship.
