BAE Systems Presses Ahead With Plans to Recruit 800 Apprentices
June 15, 2020 | BAE SystemsEstimated reading time: 1 minute
More than 9,000 people across the UK applied for the 800 apprenticeship roles during February. We have put in place measures, including virtual interviews, which have enabled us to restart our recruitment drive with almost 2,000 shortlisted candidates.
Charles Woodburn, Chief Executive, BAE Systems, said: “Getting people back to work and creating new jobs, especially for younger people, is a national priority and we’re pleased to play our part in supporting the UK’s economic recovery. The contribution apprentices make to our business is vital in maintaining our ability to continue to deliver cutting edge technologies which protect national security. We’ve worked hard to adapt our application and training processes to allow education to continue, whilst protecting the health and wellbeing of our employees and new recruits.”
Recent research from the Resolution Foundation found that those born in the late 1990s are expected to be hardest hit by the current crisis. Over the last few weeks, our early careers teams have developed new ways to enable candidates - most of whom are aged between 16 19 - to be interviewed safely and remotely.
The successful applicants will begin their careers on one of more than 25 apprenticeship training programmes in our Air, Maritime and Electronic Systems divisions, with the majority joining from September to January.
