On the first day we will train you on health and safety rules, you will receive an entry card and we will provide you with a basic package of information about the company. 

If you are undergoing a paid internship, you will also sign a fixed-term contract with us. 

Your tutor will show you your workplace, talk about tasks and introduce you to the people with whom you will work on a daily basis. If you need support or have any question that your Tutor does not know the answers to, you can also contact the Early Careers Program Coordinator in the HR department. 

At the end of the apprenticeship or internship, you may receive a request from us to evaluate them in the form of an electronic questionnaire. 

Usually, the decisions of accepting a student for an apprenticeship or internships for the holiday period are made at the turn of May and June. In the case of a paid internship related to a specific company need, we will let you know as soon as we decide who is the best fit for the role.

We might require specific educational pathway for certain type of roles. For example, the technical departments such as Engineering, Quality or Manufacturing Performance & Improvement prefer engineers that have studied in the field of Mechanics, Energy and Aviation, Production Engineering, Mechatronics, Machine Design or Material Engineering.

We always recommend to send your complete resume mentioning your educational path as well as a motivational letter stating who you are, what are your interest and what drives your passion to apply for an aerospace career. We are also interested in knowing your interests outside of your working field, such as volunteering, student projects, or former work experience (if you have had any).

If you are selected, you will receive a phone call from our HR department and we will organise a meeting (on-line or face-to-face).

There are no limits with regard to the nationality or the age of the candidates - the Global Graduate Programme is open for all international (EU and non) candidates within any age range. The only limitation is posed on work experience of  maximum 3 years. Please do take these limits into consideration when applying.

You can address your cover letter simply with "Dear Sir or Madam". The cover letter is mandatory to be attached to your online application.

Unfortunately, we are afraid that we can’t take your application into account. The 3 years relevant work experience limit is a hard limit.

However, we are still looking for people who want to join us. Thus, do not hesitate to apply for a direct entry at Airbus. 

Unfortunately, it is not possible to apply via e-mail. Please use our online application tool in order to apply - otherwise your application might not be considered. If the problem remains, please contact our support team through your Candidate Account section.

You can certainly apply for more than one position at the same time, but it doesn’t necessarily increase your chances of being selected. We strongly advise that you only apply for positions that truly fit your skills and experience, and that you provide as much information about yourself as possible in your online application. Therefore, you need to create your own profile in your Candidate Account, which you can use for all your applications within our company.

In principle, this is possible and often topics arise during internships. However, we cannot give any information about whether it is possible in a specific case, as this must be clarified with the department in question at the appropriate time.

The start date can be adjusted slightly after a consultation with the department. You will get more detailed information from the department if you get invited to an interview. Please let us know your availability in your cover letter. 

You can create your Candidate Account and set up a job alert in order to find out about new offers matching your search criteria.
