  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Depending on the department I work within will depend on the role I take on. Sometimes I am given a task for the whole placement whereas others give you different tasks throughout.

    8/10

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have gained plenty of qualifications, within my apprenticeship so far. The main skills I have improved are my IT skills, mainly Excel.

    9/10

  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
  • Working within an engineering environment that is always changing.

    9/10

  • 4. How valued do you feel by BAE Systems?
  • I think this does depend on the department you’re in and the work you are doing.

    8/10

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • Very well structured, I am given all the support I need.

    10/10

  • 6a. How much support do you receive from your training provider?
  • If ever I need support it is there for me.

    10/10

  • 6b. How much support do you receive from your employer?
  • Again this does depend on the department I’m in. We don’t have a mentor, and I think I would go to my training manager if i needed support because they have more time for me.

    7/10

  • 7. How well does your salary/package meet your costs?
  • Because I’m living at home it does, but I think I would struggle if I was living on my own.

    7/10

  • 8. Are there many opportunities outside of work?
  • There are a few, but I don’t think they are advertised very well. I don’t really hear of any.

    5/10

  • 9. Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • Because it is a great place to work. There are so many plus points working for such a large company it’s hard to explain.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?
  • Do a good application and interview. The tests are done at home so ask someone to sit by your side. Be prepared to travel if your applying for Brough as the interview may be at Warton. Make sure you do your homework on the company!
