Large employer case study: BAE Systems

BAE Systems is one of the UK’s largest advanced engineering organisations and the largest defence manufacturer, with major operations across shipbuilding, aerospace, cyber and space.

Delivering long-term national security programmes depends on specialist technical skills that are increasingly difficult to source externally.

To secure this capability, BAE Systems has built one of the UK’s most substantial apprenticeship pipelines, with a significant focus on developing Level 2 and Level 3 talent.
