You will be given the opportunity to work in different departments across Airband to learn a variety of skills and gain a thorough understanding of all aspects of telecommunications. We will give you a full training plan, through a mixture of formal and inhouse training as well as learning from our expert telecommunications team in the office and out in the field.
