Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I carry out BAU/Projects and get involved in stretch assignments within the business to build my competences. My day to day role varies, depending on my placement
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have developed leadership, confidence, learnt roles in procurement and risk management. I work collaboratively everyday which is a skill i have built upon from my previous roles.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
2/5
The university side is the most unorganised thing about this apprenticeship, BAE as a whole is great and very structured however the degree alongside is not at all what i expected and we are being used as guinea pigs which is effecting my learning.
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
2/5
We are told many different things when it comes to assignments, there is one tutor in particular called Matt who has helped me and my cohort massively when working towards are degree, he is very transparent and helpful. However from others we receive mixed messages and our marks 'depend on their mood' as we have been told previously
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
2/5
I feel learn more from doing the job and learning within my role, i do to some extent think it helps with background knowledge
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
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
Yes
Why?
BAE is a great place to work, the amount of opportunities that have arisen since i have been employed within the business is insane and they look after their apprentices and have their best interests at heart.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
Experience! get experience and examples of how you have reach certain competencies before you get to your interview, being able to show team work, collaboration, personal & professional responsibility and so forth really helps within the interview process but also within your role
