British Airways are pleased to say they’ve officially launched a new work experience programme, ready for applications and placements in 2023.

We have a new programme format to reflect the changes at British Airways over the last couple of years, and all information on our programme can be found on Speedbird Z  

What does work experience at British Airways look like now?

• Our placements blend the virtual with reality – an exciting mix of Speedbird Z tasks, virtual workshops with colleagues and in person insight days into our business. 
• The three areas students can gain a glimpse into include: Engineering, Airport Operations and Business at BA. 
• The virtual parts of the placement are UK wide and we're planning to hold the 'in-person' days at all our key sites - LHR, BAMG, BAMC, MAN and NCL.

Here’s how students can apply for a placement with us:

• Step 1: Sign up to Speedbird-Z as a user, our dedicated student website, where students can chat to BA digital mentors and complete “Work Experience pre-learning Modules” to give them a taste of the different departments within BA to understand where their interests lie.

Find out more and apply via: Speedbird Z - Student Site for Work Experience and Learning

• Step 2: Apply for a hybrid Work Experience Placement through Speedbird-Z after completing the pre-learning content. Links to apply are within the content on the site. As part of their application, students will need to upload the project they worked on throughout their pre-learning. Placements will be delivered once every school term.
• Step 3: After completing the placement, students will have the opportunity to join our voluntary Student Ambassador programme, where they complete a 3-day training course to become confident in promoting BA opportunities to their local student community.

We look forward to seeing your students applications.

British Airways Work Experience - Drop-in sessions

We’re so excited to have launched our new work experience programme at British Airways, but appreciate it looks a little bit different to how it used to, and you may have some questions! 

Do you have any questions or need advice on your application?  

We will be running weekly virtual drop-in sessions for students to talk to our Work Experience team and ask any questions they might have about the programme. Come along any Tuesday between 4pm-5pm by joining this MS teams link.
