You will need to be up for a challenge on our Programme. In two years you

accredited status with CIMA and CIPS.
You will learn about the customer, operations and commercial aspect of our
business and there will be opportunities to get involved at the sharp end
when it really counts �delivering an upgraded experience to our customers
every time. With our flagship terminal opening just a few short months
before you take up your place on the programme, you will be joining our
business at an exciting and challenging time. We will need people with
commitment and drive to help us to face the challenges of the future and who
can adapt and respond to the speed of our business.
The programme is approximately 2 years in length, which includes an at least

Manager to create a development plan tailored to your specific development
needs. You will have a line manager to support you in each of your
placements and a senior management mentor in the department to support you
throughout your programme and beyond. Placements will be designed to give
you the opportunity to maximise your potential and develop your skills and
capabilities to the full. All will be real jobs with real responsibility and
accountability and may include the need for travel.
Your Development Plan
We will work with you to develop a development plan that will work for you

find a strong support network in place. The Programme Manager will provide
you with regular career coaching and guidance and you will also have a buddy
from the department and an experienced senior manager from within the
business to act as your mentor. All of these people will take an interest in
tracking your progress as you pursue your career within BA Finance.
In addition to your programme you will also have access to an impressive
range of training resources, which you will be able to draw upon as you need
them. From computer based training to classroom courses, programmes are
offered to develop a wide range of skills such as leadership, team-building,

British Airways where you can consolidate your learning from the programme
and continue to develop your skills and capabilities.
