How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
The program is well structured, with an internal development manual as well as the apprenticeship standard to work against. First year involved learning about manufacturing processes via hands-on experience, before moving into the production office in second year. From then on, placements around the business help give a broad understanding of the organization and the various engineering operations that go into making the products.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Babcock International Group to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Babcock allows a wide breadth of work experience during the degree apprenticeship, which may not be possible at a smaller business. This allows for rapid development as well as helping decide on future paths you want to take in your career.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Babcock International Group?
Developing soft skills such as communication and organization will be more beneficial when applying to engineering apprenticeships than already having technical skills. Be open to learning new skills and trying out roles. A good understanding of a lot of topics is better than being overly specialised in one or two things at this stage.
