BAE Systems is ramping up recruitment at its site in Brough in response to increased demands to support vital defence programmes, which will provide next-generation capability for the Royal Air Force and Royal Navy.
Defence manufacturer BAE Systems is set to hire more than 2,600 new apprentices and graduates in 2023, representing a 43% increase on this year’s early careers intake.
The UK Ministry of Defence has awarded a £4.2bn contract to BAE Systems for the manufacture of the next five City Class Type 26 frigates for the Royal Navy in Glasgow.
BAE Systems and Rolls-Royce have been awarded more than £2bn to begin the third major phase of the future submarine nuclear deterrent programme, Dreadnought.
Marking National Apprenticeship Week, BAE Systems has found that young people have a strong preference towards their local community when it comes to looking for their future career, with the vast majority (86%) of 16-24 year olds surveyed saying they want to secure a job close to where they live.
