All of the work we do in terms of the qualification is extremely relevant in terms of the role in work. I often find that work I do at University is useful and aids me in my understanding of work within my role as I have a better understanding of processes within the business.

There are numerous extra curricular activities to get involved in at BAE Systems and they really focus on national events such as National Apprenticeship Week, in which plenty of activities are organised and planned, where everyone is allowed to partake in these as well as organising them if they wish.

Yes

9b. Why?

It is a great opportunity to get involved with a successful business and see how such a business operates at a much closer view. It also offers many amazing opportunities such as international travel or even travel within the UK. They have a great work ethic and constantly focus on putting their employees first.

10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to BAE Systems?

Although you may have the required qualifications so do a lot of others. You should also focus on finding something that will make you stand out from the other applicants such as extra curricular activities and awards that you may get outside of work and college as this will make you unique to others.
