Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Day to day I am involved with looking at reports and dealing with customers requests/ queries
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
I really enjoy the variety that this apprenticeship gives you as you get to move around into different teams and experience different departments
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
3/5
The one big thing I have developed in my first placement is my excel skills which have drastically improved
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
The apprenticeship is very well organised and not had any problems with it so far. And the structure is also great as you get to move around the business
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
The support system is great as there is always a number of people to speak to if you have any questions about the course
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
The training can sometimes be a second priority to your actual work but usually you can get a good balance and ask for support if needed
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
The stuff you learn is quite interesting but some of it doesn’t seem very relevant in our roles in the business
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
Yes
Why?
I would recommend this apprenticeship because it does offer you the opportunity to get stuck in with lots of different from day one. So you can really get a feel for what working at a company so large feels like
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
Research the company before you get to the interview as they are more than likely to ask you some questions about the company and the role you have applied for.
