What does a Work Experience Insight Day at British Airways look like?
Our Work Experience Insight Days are a way for students to gain first-hand experience of working for British Airways. The day will include activities, Q&A panels, workshops, tours, guest speakers and more
Our Engineering Work Experience Insight Day
Our engineering teams focus on the behind-the-scene activity. You can expect to hear from our colleagues on procedures such as an engine change, a structural repair or a complex aircraft inspection. You will also be getting involved in workshops and activities to give you a taste of what is it like to work in Engineering for a global airline.
