Skills
I have learnt a lot of skills applicable to my aerospace degree but more importantly have been able to apply the highly theoretical skills learnt at university to real world projects. This has been unimaginably beneficial and improved my technical capabilities no end. Aside from the technical skills, I feel my interpersonal skillset has also greatly improved largely to the amount of trust from the company.
Responsibilities
BAE gives interns a lot of responsibility with the work they do and there is the feeling what you're doing is important and beneficial to the company. This helps keep young engineers engaged and interested with the work they are doing motivating them to go above and beyond.
Support & Guidance
Throughout each of my placements I felt well supported with the work I was doing. Direct support from line managers has always been there and all members of the teams I have been in were happy to help with my work whether that be explaining engineering concepts or help with appropriately documenting the work completed.
Culture
Company culture and atmosphere was fantastic.
Your Impressions
