About Us:
An inclusive and diverse workforce drives innovation, makes us unique, and contributes to better problem-solving and a competitive advantage. Our passionate and inclusive Inclusion & Diversity (I&D) Team works on three strategic axes to improve the experience of our people: foster a diverse workforce and talent pool, ensure an inclusive and safe workplace, and enable a sustainable impact on Airbus and society.
The UK I&D Country Leader develops and deploys a strategy linked to global aims, taking into account local cultures of 25+ sites, focused around seven key areas of Inclusion: Gender, LGBTQIA+, International, Generational, Disability, Social & Culture, and Neurodiversity.
The Employment Marketing team is responsible for promoting the Airbus employer brand and driving candidate interest in Airbus as an employer. We create and implement digital marketing, brand management, public relations, and candidate outreach strategies through campus engagement, advertising, career fairs, and other media types.
What You Will Be Doing:
During your placement year, you will split your time between the Inclusion & Diversity and Employment Marketing teams.
Inclusion & Diversity Responsibilities:
- Contribute to the delivery of inclusion projects that are directly linked to our Top Company Objectives which aim to increase the number, spread, seniority, and engagement of under-represented groups;
- Help to develop employee engagement programmes that enable cross-division engagement and sponsorship across business at all levels;
- Engage with our executive team across our divisions on awareness and governance topics;
- Support diversity campaigns like IDAHOBIT, International Women's Day, and Disability Weeks;
- Interact with some external corporate partners, as Airbus champions external programmes and frameworks and is a signatory to a number of charters including the UN Sustainable Development Goals, Women in Defence, and the Disability Confident scheme.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
