What’s the news: In coordination with Nevada Attorney
General Aaron D. Ford and his office, T-Mobile has launched its new
Apprenticeship Program. The Un-carrier has hired its first 10
participants for roles on the Care team at its Las Vegas Customer
Experience Center and virtually on the Technology team—and is
already making plans to expand the program into more states and
areas within the company.
Why it matters: T-Mobile’s Apprenticeship Program is
creating amazing career opportunities for diverse talent to learn
new skills through hands-on experiences. Participants earn while
they learn, gain skills and experience that open up amazing career
opportunities and get access to the Un-carrier’s world class
benefits.
Who it’s for: Anyone with a passion to learn new skills
and be a part of the Un-carrier’s workforce of the future.
Today, T-Mobile announced that it has successfully launched its
new six-year Apprenticeship Program in the state of Nevada. Created
in coordination with the Nevada Attorney General's Office and the
Nevada Governor's Office of Workforce Innovation and the Nevada
State Apprenticeship Council, the program has already filled ten
paid apprenticeship roles on its Care and Technology teams,
including seven at its Customer Experience Center in Las Vegas. By
the fourth year of the program, T-Mobile will select 15 apprentices
annually for Nevada-based opportunities and intends to use the
Nevada program as a model to expand the apprenticeship program in
other states as it builds a workforce that is best positioned to
serve consumers and expand the company’s leadership in the 5G
era.
The apprenticeship program, an example of the real benefits
T-Mobile’s merger with Sprint has created for consumers across the
country, resulted from discussions with Attorney General Ford, and
his Nevada Bureau of Consumer Protection. For 12 months, T-Mobile
apprentices learn new skills through 144 hours of hands-on
experience, performing important work at T-Mobile in highly skilled
roles. The apprentices receive nationally recognized training and
classroom instruction credentialed through the U.S. Department of
Labor, and partner with mentors and receive step-by-step coaching
from their manager.
“T-Mobile has always made it a priority to grow and develop a
diverse workforce because there are tremendous benefits all around!
This new Apprenticeship Program that we’re kicking off in Nevada
will be the model for our future nationwide program, creating
meaningful opportunities for diverse talent who will play a
critical role in driving our Un-carrier success,” said Deeanne
King, T-Mobile’s Chief Human Resources Officer. “Nevadans have
everything we’re looking for to kick off this program-diverse
backgrounds and perspectives, a passion for creating a great
customer experience, and an eagerness to learn new skills. We thank
Attorney General Ford and his team for their leadership, and we’re
excited to see the positive outcomes from this program!”
“I couldn’t be prouder of the efforts of my office that have
resulted in opportunities for Nevadans and other states around the
country to obtain jobs and learn valuable skills through a
structured apprenticeship program,” said Attorney General Aaron D.
Ford. “T-Mobile has demonstrated a commitment to Nevada consumers
that extends beyond just lower prices for products and services.
When my office presented the idea of an apprenticeship program,
T-Mobile embraced the opportunity and I am pleased to see its early
and long-term success.”
T-Mobile Apprentices join a company that has consistently been
featured on national, regional and state “Best Place to Work” lists
year after year—more than 70 national and local workplace awards in
2019, including recognition as a great employer for parents,
diversity, women, Hispanics, LGBTQ and more. In addition to great
pay, T-Mobile employees are eligible to receive the company’s
outstanding benefits, including health coverage, college tuition
assistance, a childcare subsidy benefit, paid parental leave and
adoption/surrogacy benefits. They will also have opportunities for
career development and management preparation.
