My goal was solely to study for an MBA, but to support this goal, QinetiQ provided the opportunity to complete a Level 7 Apprenticeship in parallel; funding both qualifications through the UK Government’s Apprenticeship Levy.

Having the ability to access a multitude of on-demand training material allows me to re-trigger my leadership, coaching and mentorship skills and develops my knowledge on new technologies and techniques to support my team and the business.
Mark, Director of Customer Accounts QTS, Canada
In my experience, if you are proactive and show interest in the training you want to do, you will benefit from the great deal of learning and development opportunities at QinetiQ. Likewise with projects – actively asking to be involved in projects has had a great impact on my professional development, and I’ve always received encouragement when I have asked to be a part of something I’ve been interested in working on. Learning and development is an important part of our company culture, it brings colleagues together through networking and I think it also encourages and rewards collaboration and team building.
