What employers say...

“A study looking at the economic impact of BAE Systems on the UK economy estimated that each employee contributed £78k of value add each year. On this basis, we believe that the cost of an Apprenticeship is paid back in one year".

Nigel Whitehead, Group Managing Director, Programmes and Support, BAE Systems Plc
