Committed to our community

Inspired by the efforts of our local communities, we actively engage with their initiatives to help make the world a better place. We give back at every opportunity by striving to stay local with our purchases, volunteering, and helping to achieve environmental ambitions. We want to get to know our communities better and show we’re happy to get hands-on when it comes to enhancing the areas we work and live in. We also have an active volunteer network called L3Harris Investing for Tomorrow.

Focused on the future

We’re huge advocates for science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) related skillsets and proactively promote the importance of these subjects within schools, colleges and universities. Our apprenticeship programmes, industrial placements and work experience opportunities make it possible for anyone to get involved. We don’t stop there – through career development and our support network, we nurture future talent long after on-boarding. Employees can access grants for education and training to grow their skills and career prospects as well as other programmes like iMentorship which are used extensively to help staff grow.

HERE’S HOW WE MAKE A DIFFERENCE

Our accredited Professional Development scheme and Early Careers initiatives support our UK-based L3Harris community of young talent in achieving professional status in their chosen field and realising their full potential. We enable this in various ways:

Apprenticeships

L3Harris continues to actively research recruitment and retention initiatives to encourage apprentices at all levels to join L3Harris in the U.K. and pursue a rewarding career. We also plan to adopt a U.K. wide ‘Early Careers Programme’ and already support apprentices with attaining the qualifications and experience they need to achieve the level of role they aspire to.

Graduate Schemes

L3Harris graduate recruitment adds new skills and fresh thinking to our existing employee base with a particular focus on engineering. Opportunities to gain the right level of competencies continue to be developed across all of our U.K. sites, enabling access to more learning experiences and a widening skill set. Our recruitment teams frequently engage with both local and national universities, strengthening relationships and harnessing opportunities to build a pipeline of future talent.

Industrial Placements

We are actively recruiting Year IN Industry Placement roles across all of our U.K. L3Harris sites. By building on the contents of their current academic studies, placement intakes enable us to easily transfer our knowledge and strengthen their technical skills. This way we’re able to engage with them as future employees, and sponsored student agreements can be even made available for the right candidate.

Support Network

Our nine Enterprise Resource Groups (ERGs) bring together employees from all backgrounds, offering them a platform to network, foster professional development, and give back to local communities. We are establishing U.K. chapters of these groups to enable employees to promote and support the causes they are most passionate about.

Scholarships

Our Pilot Pathways programme was launched in 2018 with the objective of making pilot training more accessible to a wider audience. The first Pilot Pathway was the Female Pilot Scholarship with the aim of encouraging more aspiring female aviators to enroll in pilot training. In August 2021 we launched our £10K Aviation Industry Recovery (AIR) Scholarship, showing L3Harris’ commitment to helping aspiring aviators fulfil their passion of becoming an airline pilot.

MISSION-ALIGNED

Motivated by the mission

We put our customers’ missions at the heart of everything we do. Our close relationships with government and the Armed Forces means we’re dedicated to supporting their people on and off the battlefield. We offer employment opportunities, build transformative partnerships, and sponsor the inspirational work of military-based charities. Critically, we collaborate with industry leaders and ground-breaking small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to strengthen national prosperity and resilience.
