What our graduates say
Being on the GDP was a fantastic opportunity to learn about your own style and personality traits and how you can better adapt your approach to situations and people in the workplace. It also provided a great network across the functions and the sites that I have been able to reach out to for support during my time at Raytheon UK.
Joining as a Graduate Electronics Engineer at Raytheon has allowed me to have an interesting and rewarding experience when delving into the working world of engineering. This has given me an excellent start in understanding engineering processes and principles and provided plenty of challenges and learning opportunities to continue to grow and develop as a new engineer.
Not only this but the GDP aspect has provided a great opportunity to learn and develop soft skills. Participating in the various workshops on offer as part of the scheme has provided me with the opportunity to improve my communication, presentation, and leadership abilities and maximise my output.
