  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

    • It is my first year in college for the apprenticeship. This involves doing a range of lessons such as CAD, Mechanical principles, maths, health and safety, electrical principles, business, communications, materials, project, canvas work and workshop.

    8/10
  • 3. To what extent do you enjoy your programme?

    • I love the people and really enjoy the work! It is hard work but rewarding.

  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • I think that the course should be more organised. I think it lacks organisation and communication. Alot of planned things also seem last minute.

  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • It just takes a long time to get any support I feel.

    • I applied for the Council, however, was unlucky and didn't get on.

    6/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 9b. Why?

    • I personally really enjoy the course I'm on and the career I have chosen, so would 100% recommend to friends and family.

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

    • Work hard, be organised and keep on top of your work. This is an amazing opportunity and you will thoroughly enjoy it!
