BAE Systems plans to recruit nearly 700 apprentices in 2019, up by almost a third on this year.<\/p>\n

The defence firm said the new recruits would join its air, land and maritime businesses and embark on one of 25 training programmes.<\/p>\n

Almost half will be based at the firm’s air sites in Samlesbury and Warton in Lancashire, working on projects including the Typhoon F-35.<\/p>\n

In October last year, BAE cut 2,000 jobs<\/a>, including 750 at those two sites.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Theresa May said she was “delighted” 700 young people would be “given the opportunity to kick-start their careers in this world-class firm”.<\/p>\n

BAE Systems education and skills director Richard Hamer said: “We are proud to be one of the UK’s largest employers of apprentices and our plan… reflects our ongoing commitment to nurturing talent and developing high-end skills for the future.”<\/p>\n

Last year the firm, which employs 34,300 staff in the UK, announced plans to slash 2,000 jobs in military, maritime and intelligence services last year.<\/p>\n

At the time it said it was facing an order gap for the Typhoon so wanted to slow production before an expected order from Qatar.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
