BAE Systems careers awareness programme TV221 / A17

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 Devonshire Hall, you will see the Astute submarines being constructed in the largest shed of its kind in Britain. These inspirational works of engineering have a nuclear reactor powerful enough to serve a city the size of Southampton indefinitely. They produce all of their own H20 and O2, so if they need to, they could stay under water indefinitely - or as long as they had enough food for the crew. After a tour you will have time to meet with apprentices and graduates and learn how their STEM skills help create these might underwater machines.

Preference will be given to schools identified by BAE Systems
