GREAT MINDS

Meet Ana
"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."
"The Personal Development Fund feels refreshing because in other organisations you normally have to go through a long approval process and it can be off putting, but the fact that our fund is there and ready to go means it’s almost pre-approved, you just need to have that short conversation with your manager."
YOU'LL HAVE THE FREEDOM TO EXPLORE
There are multiple career paths you can take, no two paths are the same, and with career mobility, if you want to explore new areas, you may just find yourself in a role far from where you began.

"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."
