BAE Systems careers awareness programme TV221 / C17

Are you looking for real life engineering stories to inspire your students?
The BAE Systems early careers awareness programme is a teacher and technician CPD event that provides schools with an inspiring and thought provoking day at a local BAE Systems site.
Find out what goes on behind the doors of your local BAE Systems site and meet the people behind some of the world’s most advanced aircraft, submarines, aircraft carriers, warships and other innovative technologies.
During the day you will be able to:

• discover your local BAE Systems site and explore the cutting edge design and technology used to bring the UKs top defence platforms to life
• meet the people behind the cutting-edge technologies and services and learn about their career journeys and education
• find out about different routes into the industry and learn how your students can become more involved in BAE Systems’ activities
• develop ideas on how to prepare students for their first role in industry and find out how the recruitment process works
• receive training and resources for a new engineering themed STEM Resource, created by the Royal Academy of Engineering

At the Portsmouth Naval Base you will spend time with apprentices and graduates who are involved in supporting over half of the Royal Navy’s Surface Fleet. Here, BAE Systems maintains and upgrades the Naval Base to support the Royal Navy, including support for the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers, and developing a highly advanced range of products and services such as torpedoes and small boats.

You will see the newly developed on-site training facility, so you can experience first-hand the environment your students could learn in. Visiting the site will give you the opportunity to understand how engineering is applied to ensure ships are ready for deployments and how infrastructure and equipment is maintained around the Naval Base.

Preference will be given to schools identified by BAE Systems
