Apprentices are our future, so we invest in them.

At Airbus our people work with passion and determination to build and create amazing products – perhaps an aircraft you may already have flown on, or the satellites that help keep you connected! We look for people who have a passion for learning and want to work in an industry that is always looking to the future.
