BAE Systems Barrow Apprenticeships 2027: What We Know So Far.

06 Sep 2026 BAE Systems Barrow Apprenticeships 2027: What We Know So Far.


Young people across Barrow and the wider Furness area are being encouraged to look ahead to the next round of BAE Systems apprenticeship opportunities, with applications for the company’s 2027 intake expected to open later this year.

BAE Systems offers apprenticeship routes across a wide range of areas, including engineering, manufacturing, business and technology. The programmes combine practical experience with classroom based learning, allowing apprentices to develop recognised qualifications while building valuable skills in the workplace.

The company has a major presence in Barrow in Furness, where its workforce is heavily involved in the construction and development of submarines. Apprenticeships provide an important route for local people to enter the industry and develop long term careers with one of the area's largest employers.

According to BAE Systems' current apprenticeship information, 2027 applications are due to open in January, although individual apprenticeship levels and programmes may have their own opening dates. The company is advising potential applicants to prepare early because opportunities can attract strong interest.

The apprenticeship programme includes different levels, giving applicants with different educational backgrounds opportunities to enter the business. BAE Systems offers routes ranging from intermediate and advanced apprenticeships through to higher and degree level programmes, depending on the career path and entry requirements.

For those interested in technical careers, the opportunities can provide hands on training in areas such as manufacturing, engineering and specialist trades, while other programmes can lead towards careers in business, technology and professional services.

The upcoming recruitment drive could provide a significant opportunity for Barrow's young people and local jobseekers, particularly those looking to gain qualifications without following a traditional university route. Apprentices can earn while learning and receive support from experienced colleagues throughout their training.

With BAE Systems continuing to recruit and develop its workforce in Barrow, the 2027 apprenticeship intake is expected to attract considerable interest locally. Potential applicants are being encouraged to monitor the company's careers website and prepare their applications ahead of the opening period.
