At London Biggin Hill, we’re passionate about inspiring the next generation of aviation professionals. We offer a wide range of opportunities, for local young people, working together with our resident aerospace businesses to encourage and develop the aspirations of young people, from all backgrounds, as they consider their futures.
We provide a number of early career opportunities, with our Unite to Inspire programme, that aim to unlock potential and present a useful stepping-stone between education and starting a career.
Futures Week
Our Futures Weeks are aimed at young people, aged 15-18 years, who are considering a career within the aviation industry. Students spend a week with us, here at the airport, and experience a range of interactive activities and careers advice, talks from inspirational people and immersive visits to our resident aerospace companies.

We hold a work experience week once a year, usually in July. The week offers a fantastic hands-on experience of many different aspects of working at an airport.
We are still preparing our work experience offering for 2025. Please continue to check this page, which will be updated with further information about how to apply.
Taster Days
We facilitate taster days to give local young people an opportunity to explore the world of aviation. These experiences are tailored to the individual or group and provide a small flavour of our Futures Week initiative. This element is suitable for school groups, youth organisations and individuals considering a specific role within the industry.
Working in Schools
We regularly visit local schools and youth organisations to support careers days, assemblies and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Maths) events to promote early career choices.
