Work Experience

BAE Systems • Temporary • Glasgow, GB • 2w ago

Description

30 November – 03 December 2026

Join BAE Systems Naval Ships team for a one week work experience placement and earn a Silver Industrial Cadet Award. Our work experience placements will take place Monday to Thursday 8:30am – 3.30pm for pupils aged 16-18 and will take place at our Scotstoun site. Students will learn about BAE Systems’ business, apprenticeship programmes and also spend time in a workshop environment taking part in hands on activities and creating a project. The week finishes with group presentations during which the participants share the knowledge they have gained.

The aim of the placement is for students to develop their skills and experience through face to face sessions and activities devised and delivered by our apprentices and engineers. From pipework to project managers, steelworkers and electricians, participants will learn from the experts in their fields. They will discover the impact they are making on the future of ship design and about the wide range of career pathways available for school leavers.

In addition, students will work on an individual project and spend time with our early careers experts who will help them explore their strengths and the opportunities offered by the company. Please note that while the Work Experience programmes are designed to expose participants to life at BAE Systems in general, the Scotstoun programmes will have a larger focus towards electrical, plumbing, pipe welding, sheet metal design and fabrication crafts.

Applications to close approximately 8 weeks before the programme begins. However, they may close earlier if high volumes of applications are received – we recommend applying as soon as possible to avoid missing out.
