“I enjoy the sense of independence and responsibility for my time at work, I can plan when and where I need to work to get my work projects complete, I enjoy going off site to conduct trails to see a variety of experiments taking place.” – Hayden, Engineering Apprentice

“A highlight has definitely been a visit to the Type 23 frigate HMS St Albans at HMNB Portsmouth. It was interesting to get on board an in-service Naval vessel and be given a guided tour around all parts of the ship. Personally, I really enjoy the work, I find it interesting and challenging and it’s something I wouldn’t have got from University.” - Louise, Engineering Apprentice
