BAE Systems: Apprentices
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what discussions his Department has had with BAE Systems on apprenticeship rankings.
Answered by Andrew Western
The department is delighted to offer its congratulations to BAE, and to all employers who have made the Top Apprenticeship Employer rankings for 2026.
The rankings recognise organisations of all sizes across England that are leading the way in investing in people, championing skills, and opening up real opportunities through apprenticeships. Many of these new opportunities being created will benefit young people, especially at the start of their careers, ensuring where someone grows up doesn’t determine what they can achieve.
These rankings aren’t just about numbers, they highlight businesses that are committed to quality, progression, and creating meaningful careers. By doing so, these employers are not only strengthening their own workforce but also helping to drive growth and build a more inclusive economy.
