Sponsorship: what is a sponsor & why you need them

You’ve established yourself in your role and you’ve set yourself career goals. So how do you go about achieving them?

Well a sponsor could be the answer! A sponsor is someone, usually in the workplace, who believes in you and helps you climb the ranks.

To talk us through sponsorship and it’s benefits, we sit down with Jessica Regan from BAE Systems.

Despite being one of the youngest leaders in the industry, Jessica is one of the project leads on a new BAE Systems Digital Intelligence space systems programme, delivering cutting edge satellite technology.

Jessica discusses the positives of having a sponsor, how to go about getting one and the differences between sponsorship and mentorship.
