Various 5-day placement dates between April to July 2025 Data Science - Work Experience Placement
Everything we see and touch has been influenced by data; and as we progress into a digital era of automation, the need to use data to its fullest potential is more important than ever. So, what is Data Science? It's firstly the ability to take data and understand it. Then process this data, extract the value from it, and visualise and communicate this. Airlines are complex, everchanging and data rich, which means that our industry provides one of the most varied and interesting places for analytics professionals to work. Problems like determining the best mix of aircraft to buy for the next 20 years, or how to set the pricing strategy for our flights, require you to generate creative solutions. Discover the world of Data Science at British Airways! Our 2 week Work Experience Placement at Heathrow Head Office offers students aged 16-18 a unique opportunity to explore data science operations within a dynamic Aviation industry setting. Develop essential skills, work alongside our experts, and get involved in exciting project work! Apply now for our July 2024 Placement (15th-26th)! About you
