Ryanair Grad Programme

Could you be our next success story?

Our graduate programme is like no other in Aviation…our graduates are given access to the senior management team from their 1st day as they are mentored by a senior member of staff for the duration of the two-year programme & work on key strategic projects that have a positive impact on our guests & our people. Our grads get to go out across our network & learn everything about our business, think fun visits to airports to learn about our famous 25 min turnarounds, or trips to our engineering hangers to see how we strip an 8200 aircraft back to it’s skin during heavy maintenance season. In between we throw in loads of events throughout the year…If you are thinking of joining a graduate programme…look no further…

“The Grad Programme gave me a lot of exposure, responsibility, and impact from Day 1. Working alongside highly experienced professionals who are quick to make decisions and work as one-team towards our goal of reaching 300m guests. The programme has certainly developed me professionally, and it’s taught me more about business than what any grad school could!”
