Airbus announced at the Paris Air Show that the company is over halfway to its goal of hiring 13,000 employees this year.
So far the company has hired over 7,000 people for positions it wants to fill.
Jobs abound at Airbus in the fields of manufacturing and engineering as well as activities supporting Airbus’ long term objectives like cybersecurity, software engineering, and new propulsion technologies (e.g. hydrogen, cryogenics, fuel cells).
A third of the total recruitment will be allocated to recent graduates. With this ambition, Airbus has just signed an extension of its partnership with Georgia Institute of Technology for another 5 years, in the frame of the Airbus Academic Program (with selected Top 15 Universities and Schools worldwide).
In 2023, on top of this strategic program, Airbus expanded its academic partnerships with 42 business schools and universities worldwide, through agreements with CEMS and UNITECH. These partnerships will foster potential synergies in the aeronautical sector that will help develop the next generation of aerospace professionals.
Airbus currently employs more than 134,000 people across its businesses worldwide.
