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

    • I’m employed as a joiner but currently have done a very small amount of joinery work.

    4/10
  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

    • I’ve learnt domestic joinery at college which I have then transferred to my role in the company.

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

    • It can be good, but not as good as I expected due to lack of joinery work.

    6/10
  • 4. How well organised/structured is your programme?

    • Structure and organising at college are great, on site it’s not as organised.

    5/10
  • 5. How much support do you receive from your employer?

    • Not the best I’ve received from a job, but not the worst.

    6/10
  • 6. How much support do you receive from your training provider when working towards your qualifications?

    • We haven’t begun doing the work we require to complete our portfolio yet.

    4/10
  • 7. How well do you feel that your qualification (through your training provider) helps you to perform better in your role?

    • You need to be trained as a joiner in order to be a joiner so the qualification is needed to do the job.

    10/10
  • 8. Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)

    • Not really.

    2/10
  • 9a. Would you recommend BAE Systems to a friend?

    • No

  • 9b. Why?

    • It’s not the kind of place my friends would like to work in.

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

    • Make sure you understand the role you’ve applied for and what your day to day will look like before accepting the job.
