IAG Cargo apprenticeships now open

[ September 30, 2022   //   ]

IAG Cargo has launched its 2023 apprenticeship programme. There are 14 roles available in the scheme, which starts in January, combining on the job operational training with recognised qualifications.

IAG Cargo first launched the apprenticeship scheme in 2012 and has since welcomed over 100 apprentices across the business. The 18-month programme has been designed to support a career in the cargo and logistics industry from the age of 16+ and the scheme offers competitive benefits to include salary and discounts on flights. It focuses on the manual handling of freight, breaking and building units and operating equipment and machinery in a safe, secure and efficient environment. Deadline for applications is 16 October.

Chief People Officer at IAG Cargo, Caroline Andrews, said: “Our past and present apprentices have played a vital role in supporting our business to help keep the world’s economy turning and so I’m delighted to launch our latest apprenticeship scheme. With many school leavers keen to start their working lives this programme supports individuals to kick-start their career in such an important industry and we can’t wait to welcome them into our business.”

Zena Foley, Global ULD Logistics Manager began her career in 2012 and is now an integral part of the Supply Chain Operations at IAG Cargo: “I’ve always loved airports and aircraft, so when I saw this apprenticeship programme it immediately appealed to me. Not only did I receive hands-on experience and a qualification, but I was also earning too – university did not offer me this pathway.”
