00 Job Description

MBDA are looking for students currently in Years 11 to 13 to come and join us for an exciting week of work experience at our Bristol site based in Filton!

What's the opportunity?

Work experience at MBDA is a fantastic way to consider your career choices. Designed with STEM students in mind, it will give you an insight into how an engineering company functions and the sort of work we do day to day.

Throughout the week students will have the opportunity to learn more about our company and the industry we work in by completing a week of activities, tours and lectures all based at our Bristol site. You'll be taking part in an exciting design project culminating in a mock customer presentation at the end of the week.

You'll also get the opportunity to get careers advice from current apprentices and graduates, who will give you an insight into our Early Careers schemes that includes Apprenticeship and Graduate programmes!

We're committed to being an inclusive workplace and work experience can be the first opportunity for you to try a career that you may not have considered previously.

When will it take place?

We will be running the following weeks in 2025:

·       Monday 17th February – Friday 21st February

·       Monday 28th July – Friday 1st August

Please let us know your preference on your application.

How can I apply?

Your application will be reviewed by a member of the work experience team. After initial review, if successful, a member of the team will call you for an informal telephone interview.

If successful at this stage, you will receive an email with details of the week that you have been offered, more details of the week's programme, and with paperwork to be completed prior to your arrival onsite.

Entry criteria and essential info

Placement dates are based on the Bristol half term holidays.

All work experience weeks are for a nominal period of 1 week.

We encourage new learning and will provide up to £150 in financial support per year if you wish to participate in further study in your own time.
