Airbus is opening the gates this weekend to give people interested in a career in the aviation industry to speak to recruitment experts.
Europe’s biggest plane-maker is holding its annual Apprentice Open Day on Saturday at its North Factory in Broughton, Flintshire, where it assembles composite wings for its ground-breaking A350XWB airliner.
Airbus in the UK has taken on record numbers of apprentices and graduates in recent years and hopes to take on even more in 2020 as it continues to meet demand from its growing number of airline customers.
Airbus’ employment marketing manager in the UK, Kath Edwards, said: "Our Apprentice Open Day is a great opportunity for anyone seeking or thinking about an apprenticeship to find out more about opportunities at Airbus."
The company offers two types of apprenticeships – degree apprenticeships where successful applicants have their university tuition fees paid on top of earning a competitive salary, and craft apprenticeships, where individuals work for the company while gaining a National Diploma qualification at college.
Apprenticeships are available at both the Airbus Filton and Broughton sites.
The A350 North Factory will open its doors between 1.30pm and 4pm today.
Students, parents and anyone interested in a career in engineering, IT of Business is welcome to attend. The nearest sat nav postcode for the North Entrance is CH4 0DQ.
