Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Currently at collage doing a mechanic engendering and getting ready to go to the yard to enhance my pipe fitting.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
5/5
Being able to be hands on instead of being in a class being taught when I can now work on my own to teach myself and learn from others in a practical environment.

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
Developed my skills using power tools and hand tools throughout my time in the collage workshop when doing various different tasks.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
It’s structured at a high standard as it’s organised into set days for different activities.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
4/5
A good amount as if I need help I can get it if it’s for academic or for personal reasons fast as I have straight contact with employers.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
5/5
A good amount as if there is a problem they sort it by speaking to college.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
5/5
I feel it will help me a lot as I am getting a better understanding hands on how to use all the tools.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
2/5
I have no idea, I haven’t looked into it.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
Yes
Why?
It’s a great learning environment, much better then going to uni as you get the exact things you will need and there’s no messing around which helps me excel.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
Practice being confident when in an interview environment and do research into the company to find out what they do so you can find the right role that fits you.
