Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
Self directed on the job learning. Communicating with the placement team I am within to learn how to or complete jobs that are assigned to me. etc
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
I feel my apprentice has been extremely helpful with handling the training and guidance when places in a placement without prior knowledge or experience in the tools used and the work given.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
5/5
I have learnt how to use a variety of systems and also learnt how data is handled and used within a big business

Structure and Support

How well organised/structured is your programme?
5/5
very
How much support do you receive from your employer?
5/5
I have received a lot of support with not only working issues but also issues with my health and outside of work.
How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?
4/5
We have regular meetings to make sure our learning is where it is expected to be and help if it is not.
How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?
3/5
I have learned a lot of about handling data and also some other things like displaying data and using code to filter through data which has been used lightly in some of my placements. I have not started my specialisation within my learning yet which I believe is where I will find is more useful
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
There are although due to reasons I have not partook in them. But there are tea and coffee catch ups and also games nights.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Because they have looked after me a lot and I feel like they provide a really good working environment compared to other organisations I have worked for before.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
I can not think of any tips I have at the moment for the application stages.
