British Airways Apprenticeship | Data Science Apprentice (£21,000)

British Airways

Job Description

Airlines are complex, everchanging and data rich, which means that the industry provides one of the most varied and interesting places for data and analytics professionals to work. Problems like determining the mix of aircraft to buy for the next 20 years, or how to decide the price of our tickets, requires a creative approach identifying and exploiting value from current and new data sources, applying advanced analytical techniques and visualisations.

You will join our team of in-house consultants and data engineers, who have exceptional technical skills and first-class business knowledge, using techniques from the fields of data science, data engineering and data visualisation. Our department is at the heart of using insight to drive smarter decisions across BA. We improve the digital experience, and drive value.

Across the programme, you will study towards a BSc in Data Science with our chosen training provider NCH, embedding your new theoretical knowledge into the workplace. Following the completion of your Level 6 apprenticeship, you will be fast tracked for an interview as a permanent Data Science Consultant.
