As a logistics apprentice you will see all areas of BAE systems, working in warehousing, fork lift truck driving, working in tool stores, doing system work using SAP. Its a hands on roll, in overalls.
I have learnt how to use SAP, drive a forklift and general improvement on IT skills
Everyday is great- I don't feel like i'm comin to work
It's very well organised once your settled. I spent the first two weeks in induction and then was given my first 12 months of placements.
As much as required.
As a logistics apprentice you do not go to college, all your training is on site. You spend time down the SASK building with your skills coach and take courses such as working at height, confined spaces and fork lift. All fully supported
Training on the job is so much better than going to college as you are learning the skill and putting it into practise straight away.
As part of my stretch activities I write a monthly logistics newsletter as well as go to infant schools to carry out STEM activities with children.
Yes
BAE is a great place to work with many opportunities as well as excellent benefits, such as Shares, pension and flexible maternity/paternity. It's well paid and you will be well taken care of
Be yourself, research the role particularly logistics as a lot of people mistake it for office based supply chain which it is not, it's just part of the supply chain process. Prepare for online and in person interviews. Use STAR method to answer questions.
