About Us
Airbus is a forward-thinking, high-flying, and dynamic business, paving the way for the future of the aerospace industry. We are a driving force for innovation, working towards achieving a sustainable future. When you join the Airbus Finance Internship Scheme, we recognize the importance of supporting high-achieving and talented undergraduates. We do this through offering challenging internship opportunities during which your skills and potential are fully maximized.
The Internship scheme within Finance at Airbus will provide you with a fantastic start to your career. The internship will give you the opportunity to gain hands-on financial experience within a manufacturing industry as well as develop professional behavioral skills such as leadership, organizational, presentation, and communication skills. You will also be given an insight into working in a challenging, fast-paced environment with real responsibilities. As an intern, you are treated as a full employee and given as much support as you may need to ensure that the transition from university to working life is smooth.
At Airbus, there is a solid mix of youth and experience, with a large number of interns, graduates, and apprentices on-site as well as well-experienced professionals to help guide your career from both a technical and behavioral perspective, to ensure you develop as fully as possible during your time with us and maximize your potential. You are able to build a wide network made up of people with a range of experience levels and who work in all different areas of the business.
There is the opportunity to get involved in activities outside of your role such as organizing charity events, Generation Airbus, and local team social events, showing the local community around the site, and leading your own projects. Airbus encourages a healthy work-life balance through flexi-time and a Friday half-day, ensuring positive wellbeing. There is also the potential to be fast-tracked onto the Finance Graduate Scheme, dependent on strong, exceptional internship performance. This will give you the chance to join the Airbus family long term, living and working around Europe in numerous placements whilst studying for your Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA).
