This apprenticeship insight event introduces BAE Systems, engineering, and our early careers programmes. This is a hybrid event held over four days between 22 January and 09 February, with two sessions online and two sessions on-site at various locations across the UK.
You’ll have an opportunity to learn more about us, gain hands on experience, and visit our sites. There will also be opportunities to meet our current engineering apprentices, who will provide insights into their role and share their experience.
Following the insight experience, you could be offered a full-time position on one of our engineering apprenticeships, starting in autumn 2024.
About engineering at BAE Systems
Our engineers directly and in-directly support the manufacture of complex products such as submarines, surface naval ships, munitions, or aircraft. There are several engineering disciplines to choose from including aerospace, commissioning, software, and engineering technician.
What does this apprenticeship involve?
Higher and degree apprenticeships generally take between three and five years to complete. You’ll spend the first year in full-time training, learning core skills, before moving onto a site placement within one of our specialist engineering teams. You’ll have real responsibility on real-life projects, learning from those around you and fast-tracking your skills.
