Business Work Experience - Stevenage 2024
Work experience schemes are a great way of gaining insight into future career paths that you may not have considered before. The MBDA Work Experience Programme has been designed to give you a better view of the opportunities available in the MBDA Early Careers Department.
Whilst on the Work Experience Programme, you will be working with teams in a variety of departments to grasp the dynamic of working in a defence organisation. Throughout the week you will take part in placements such as Human Resources, Finance, Procurement, Supply Chain, Project Management and Strategy.
Additionally, the Work Experience Scheme aims to give you an insight into the industry upon which we operate in, achieved through site tours, work-based tasks with current employees and a chance to learn tips and tricks to begin your career.
What's in it for me?
You will develop further some of the below skills, which are vital to the Business Roles, but also transferable to other roles:
