Fibrus is offering career opportunities to Cumbrian graduates as it rolls out full fibre broadband in the region, as part of a year-long programme that gives comprehensive training, a dedicated mentor and valuable hands-on experience.
In 2022, Fibrus was selected to deliver the £108 million broadband improvement contract for Cumbria to bring broadband services to residents, as part of Project Gigabit, extending the contract this March to provide an additional 21,000 premises in Cumbria with access to full fibre.
Andrew Lee (pictured) from Kendal joined the graduate programme in July as a Hyperfast stakeholder engagement graduate after completing a criminology degree at Lancaster University.
To date, nine graduates have joined the company through the programme, successfully completing both the ‘Business Essentials Programme’ and the ‘Mentoring Programme.’ These graduates have been integrated into various teams, including Stakeholder Engagement, GIS Technology, Workforce Management, and Project Management.
