We’re delighted to launch our virtual pilot school visits programme as part of our Amy Johnson Initiative to encourage more girls to become an airline pilot in the future. We’re launching the virtual school visits on International Women’s Day, as this year’s theme #ChooseToChallenge highlights the importance of calling out gender bias. Recent research conducted by us showed that around half of British children (51%) still believed their career choices were biased towards traditional male and female jobs, suggesting that gender stereotypes are still having an impact on children’s career aspirations and that the work to challenge this starts in schools. Teachers, schools and parents can now request a virtual visit, to join classrooms and assemblies via video link, providing young people across Europe with the opportunity to find out what the job of a pilot is really like and to show them it’s a job for everyone. The full launch details can be found on our main easyJet LI platform. #easyjet #easyjetcareers #orangespirit #IWD2021

We do the right thing. Our passion and commitment to operating sustainably is part of what makes us special. All our flights are carbon neutral and we’re the only major airline to offset 100% of our CO2 emissions. We know that offsetting our carbon output from our flights is a great first step and is something we’ll carry on doing while seeking more radical carbon-reducing solutions. As a business, we are determined to adapt to mitigate our climate impact and thrive in a low carbon world because – sustainability matters. Meet James, Sustainability Manager.

We want to continually innovate and improve what we do, for our customers and our people - who are at the heart of everything. Working for a pan-European company whose employee base reflects its customer base, means you might need to take tough decisions or smart risks, but you’ll be doing the right thing. Your commitment, energy and ideas will keep us moving forward. We want you to share our spirit and in return we’ll listen to your ideas through ‘Your Voice Matters’, giving you honest feedback with our future thinking. We want you to have your say - whether it’s on our day to day activity, strategy, sustainability or corporate social responsibility. #easyjet #easyjetcareers #belongherewithus
We’re excited to announce the launch of ‘Flightsize’ lessons - a collection of online video lessons, to support parents across the nation still juggling home-working and home-schooling. Our Pilots are fronting the new initiative and have created a programme of online lessons that include elements of basic geography and science. Johan Lundgren, CEO, said: “We know it isn’t easy for parents having to balance home-schooling with work during lockdown which is why they are always looking for ever-more exciting ways to keep their children busy and entertained in what we hope is the final stretch of home schooling. I am delighted that our pilots and easyJet as an airline can help out in a small way and I hope that children enjoy learning from our fantastic pilots all about how planes fly as well as a behind-the-scenes look at what the job of a pilot is like with these Flightsize lessons.” The six available Flightsize lessons below can all be found on our easyJet YouTube channel. #easyjet #easyjetcareers #belongherewithus #orangespirit
Develop in Orange years. We are consistently being told by our people, that the experience they gain after one year with us, is the equivalent to three years working somewhere else - due to the breadth, exposure and projects they’re part of. If you’re creative, resilient and innovative, you’ll hit the ground running here - working cross functionally, actively sharing ideas and solving problems - showing real team spirit. Pairing this with our ‘My Journey’ development tool, will allow you to fully spread your wings whilst developing your career with us. Working here means you might have to step outside your comfort zone, bouncing back when plans change - but you’ll continue learning and developing new skills throughout, feeling real ownership for everything you do. https://careers.easyjet.com/ #easyjet #easyjetcareers #belongherewithus #orangeyears #orangespirit
To mark #AskAnApprentice Day we caught up with one of our Data Analysts Edgar, who is lucky enough to be one of the first apprentices to enrol on a new course. (The full blog can also be found on our LinkedIn and Facebook Careers pages) Edgar is part of The Artificial Intelligence (AI) Data Specialist course which was created and launched last year with training provider- Cambridge Spark. Here's what our Apprenticeship and Early Career's Manager, Charlotte had to say about apprenticeships at easyJet- “We use apprenticeships to help build and develop the skills of employees, so that in turn they support the growth and priorities of the business.” Charlotte is also part of the Aviation Industry Skills board and recently joined others to discuss the importance of apprenticeships and why they are vital to the recovery of aviation.

We’re proud to announce that we’ve been recognised in the listing of Britain’s Most Admired Companies. For the second year running we’ve won the Transport (People) category which includes other transport brands and competitors. Our efforts across the airline have also seen us come top in four of the criteria sectors within our category. Our Group People Director Ella, had this to say: “Winning awards always makes me feel very proud of our people and our unique orange spirit – and winning this category award for the second year given the backdrop of what we have all been through over the past twelve months is truly remarkable. It is the talent, strength and character of our fantastic people who continue to deliver, serve our customers and make working here great – even in the most challenging of times."
Last year we signed the Time to Change pledge which is all about breaking down the stigma that still exists around mental health. This year, to build on this further, we’re celebrating Time to Talk day by encouraging our people to stay connected; reaching out to each other, sharing stories and remembering that it’s ok – not to be ok. This years’ Time to Talk Day theme is the ‘Power of Small’. Just by putting in a call to a friend, colleague or family member to see how they are could change the way they view the rest of their day. Small things, especially during current times, really can make the biggest difference. To fully support the well-being of our people, we’re actively promoting a variety of content and resources available via our You Matter hub which all suit a range of different learning styles; all with the same aim of supporting everyone to proactively manage mental health. #easyjet #easyjetcareers #youmatter #timetotalk #powerofsmall
