fixing machinery when a break down occurs,

BAE offers a paid for education and it is you to you to take the qualifications offered and complete all the courses.

the qualification I am currently doing is very interesting however has very small relevance to my pathway career I am on. It gives my a general oversite of engineering subjects such as maths, science and business integrity.
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
