As part of the apprenticeship we go on a trip called Outward Bound to Scotland where we do team building exercises etc. We also have lots of clubs within the office.

BAE Systems has been amazing so far and they are extremely supportive. I was really lucky to get a degree apprenticeship with them and I think they are very accommodating. I'd want the best for my friends so I would recommend the best.
