Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
I enjoy my role as it it busy. Day-to-day I work on contracts that go to the Ministry of Defence for Typhoons that they buy off BAE
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I really enjoy the pace of the program and the actual work that is involved.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
I have learnt how to interact with people from around the business and the customer in a formal manner through emails. I have developed my communication, team work and leadership skills.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
4/5
From starting the program to now, it has been very well structure. In the first week of the job I had received a full 2 year plan of how the apprenticeship will run and it has been stuck to.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
3/5
I receive a good amount, however in the busy times it's hard for some of the team to find time to help.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
I receive all the help I require which has been a big help.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I don't think it helps me as the educational side of things is very broad to business, whereas on the job is quite niche.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
3/5
There are events that get held and within the teams I have been in, there has been activities to get involved in, however I think they could be more often.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Lots of opportunities, great benefits, great schemes, great people to work with and great support.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
If you don't get on the scheme first try, keep applying until you get in (it's worth it!). Research the company and attend lots of open days to ask questions.
