Business Apprentice Review

I have a specific set of jobs that have to be completed on different days, for example on Mondays I will make sure that people have booked their hours correctly an if they haven't then I will email them and ask why they could then ask me to change something about their week such as a longer lunch or a holiday.

I have learnt how to use Microsoft outlook which is something that I had previously never used. This challenged me as I had no knowledge of how to use the system this also helped to develop my email righting skills which I had never used professionally this helped me to trust myself and my knowledge on how it worked.

I really enjoy my programme as it challenges me every day as I never quite know what questions I will get asked that day or where I may end up. This help to engage me and not get stuck doing the same thing day after day. We also get asked to help[ out at open days and charity event which helps you feel like you are giving back.

My programme has a very large structure which can make it hard to keep up with everything as their are lots of little pieces that aren't always relevant to you but once you learn how to navigate what you want everything slots into place and it makes things much easier.

My employer provides lots of support as I have many people that I can go to depending on what I want for example if I want help with my day to day work I would talk to my manager who gives and shows me how to do my work, but if I wanted to ask a question about the apprenticeship I would go to the early careers lead.

During my apprenticeship I receive monthly assignments that I can put towards my end point assessment that will happened at the end of my 2 year apprenticeship. Through me completing the assignments I will receive all the help I need and any time that I may require to complete them.

My qualification has helped me to perform better in my role because during the lessons the things we cover help me to improve our work during any of the placements I may be in and during end point assessment which will occur at the end of my 2 year apprenticeship.

There are lots of things that aren't part of your job description that you can get involved in such as going to the charity meeting and helping to organise and take part in events that will raise moneys for your local charities another is that your team depending on where you are might have something locally that you can do with them.

Yes

I would recommend BAE system to a friend as they want you to do the best you can during the apprenticeship with a high possibility of a job being offered at the end and with all the support you are provided you will definitely find something that will engage and excite you all while being one of the best apprenticeships offered.

Some tips I would give to someone applying to BAE systems is to always be yourself as you aren't just interviewed on your qualifications and what you can fit onto your CV you are being interviewed on how you as a person will fit into a team of people with a diverse range of beliefs and ideas.
