Upon the completion of the graduate program you are guaranteed a substantive full time role.
So many opportunities, and leaders are very supportive in your development.
The graduate program allows me to join 3 teams over the course of two years. This provides many opportunities to develop skills and knowledge across various areas of the function.
BAE Systems is a large company with a wide range of roles and projects, so there appear to be plenty of opportunities for career growth. The company seems to value "squiggly" career paths, where employees can move between different functions rather than following a strictly linear promotion route. There are also programs that allow people to experience different areas of the business and build a broader understanding of how everything fits together. As a graduate or intern, movement can be a little more structured due to rotational programs, but the company is generally supportive if you have clear career goals. While progression still requires initiative and effort, there seem to be good long-term opportunities to develop your career and move into roles that match your interests.
Yes, there are many opportunities within the company to move up, and to progress and go into higher positions. There is also a progression of a squiggly career move.
