BAE Systems builds the UK skills base

摘要

Bae systems is supporting the growth of engineering and manufacturing businesses in the Solent (UK) through the Government funded Employment Ownership Programme (EOP) aimed at increasing the number of apprenticeships and raising high level engineering skills. In addition to BAE Systems' intake of 100 apprentices to its Maritime Services business, the Company will also support the recruitment and training of 20 apprentices on behalf of local employers. The activity follows a similar successful scheme at BAE Systems' military aircraft apprentice training school in Preston. Starting this September, apprentices will complete a four year Advanced Apprenticeship in Engineering, preparing them for a wide range of roles including electrical and mechanical fitters, welders, fabricators, outfitters, pipe workers and joiners. The new apprentices will spend their first 12 months at the BAE Systems' Skills Development Centre at HM Naval Base Portsmouth, learning the skills they will need to perform in their roles.
