British Airways Work Experience applications now open
|

|
|
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.
