Since I have started my program, I have learnt how to be more confident within myself and how I can portray myself to others in confident manner, this has been especially helped in the behaviours curriculum, we were the first year to test this.

4/5
The company provides many different activities and networking events on for the public but also the staff. The company hosts events to advertise what job roles entail and what you could be doing if you managed to gain employment with BAE, they are usually held for young people to encourage them to apply
