Congratulations! If you’ve found your way to this page, then you’re clearly up for a challenge! And we’ve got plenty in store…
This annual BT training and development programme is now in it’s sixth year and the 2012 event promises to be our most ambitious yet. To be honest, we say that every year but we genuinely believe it. Put simply, we up the ante with every programme to ensure you come away with a genuine ‘once in a life-time experience.’
Everything you need to know to apply for the BT Challenge Tanzania 2012 programme – culminating in a two week trip to Africa – can be found here. So, please browse the site and familiarize yourself with all the information available before applying. You can also contact us with any additional questions if you would prefer to talk to a previous participant to get an insider’s perspective.
And finally, don’t worry if you feel daunted about the fund-raising or fitness commitments. There is a huge support network (inside and outside of BT) to help you and if everything was so easy, it would hardly be challenging!
So, if you’re feeling inspired and looking for an opportunity to showcase your potential whilst transforming the future of some desperately impoverished communities, then apply for the BT Challenge 2012 programme here.
