Airbus is a corporate member of the Global Engineering Deans Council. GEDC members are individuals responsible for setting the agenda for higher education in engineering in their countries and universities.
The Airbus GEDC Diversity Award is a joint initiative which recognises individuals and programmes that have succeeded in increasing diversity amongst the engineering student body worldwide. Launched in 2012, the award is now in its 7th Year and aims to shine a light on successful projects that inspire students from all profiles and backgrounds to study and succeed in engineering.
Airbus is an equal opportunity employer and aims to hire a minimum of 20% women across all divisions annually. We work in partnership with Elles bougent and are focusing efforts on facilitating access for women in areas where they are currently underrepresented.
To help achieve this, we have developed a comprehensive range of activities to promote jobs in aeronautics and space to women. These initiatives include site visits, airshow tours and events that allow to increase awareness among female employees and reinforce the attractiveness of the aerospace industry to them. The events include forums, conferences and seminars organized by educational institutions (for example the Summer School of the International Institute of Women in Engineering).
