Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
I really enjoy it. We have placements which are a year long, this allows me to get settled in within the team, but also move around different areas of the business

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Yes, I have developed multiple project management skills whilst on the job and at University. It has really helped develop my skills during the 2 years I have been here.

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
Its well organised, we moved placements the same month every year.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have lots of support from both early careers and my placement team. I know I can talk to anyone and ask for help and will receive it.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
3/5
I receive significant support from them, however as half of the delivery is done online its hard to make relationships with the tutor to ask out for help
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
4/5
They provide the knowledge for me to learn and use practically whilst on placement.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes, both early careers and my placement team holds social events on a regular basis

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
Yes
Why?
They help support your development throughout your apprenticeship. I have had a really enjoyable experience so far working for this company.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
Research the company, not just the facts but what they do to help others, eg. the local community. Also research bits about the type of apprenticeship and get an idea of what it includes. And be yourself and be confident
