Cyber Engineer Review

my role focuses on protecting and maintaining IT/OT/ICS infrastructure

lots of technical skills related to Cyber Security and IT management. the support from co-workers and Mentors

Very much so, my first role has had a wide variety of work that i find interesting and relevant to my aspirations

there are problems with understaffing, communicating with the apprentice coach can be challenging and most of the organised meetings are run by other apprentices. however this is hard to blame on the company because the person that they hide to be the new apprentice coach quit after 2 days.

lots. they are more than happy to provide help or time off when the Uni work load is high. the support in my job role is also great as i feel that i have plenty of people to ask for support with work.

they have been good at keeping connected with bi-monthly meetings. the planning of the Uni sessions could be better but as the course is relatively new they are still working out the kinks.

mainly through business skills like how to communicate in a business as well as presenting skills. the technical skills aren't as useful i have found however it is hard to assume that this will persist as i am not even a quarter of the way through the content.

there are social events every month or so as well as a week where our years cohort travels to The Uni site and spend a week together. it provides a good time to socialise with people from other parts of the business units.

Yes

it provides a freely work environment with plenty of other apprentices to communicate with and even do projects together. overall i feel like i fit in well and am very supportive by my team, fellow apprentices and BAE as a whole

Having a positive attitude and a drive to collaborate with other apprentices or graduates will improve you network extremely well and also make your workplace a more enjoyable place to be.
