The firm will run a year-in-industry programme for university students, offering nine-month placements starting in September 2026.

The scheme, run in partnership with Derby College, gives students hands-on experience as they work on the CrossCountry Voyager refurbishment project.

The programme gives hands-on experience and exposure to industry, helping students start their careers in space.

The one-year programme is aimed at young adults aged 18 to 24 with an education, health and care plan or special educational needs.

The programme is run in partnership with Norfolk County Council and Pluss, and aims to give more inclusive employment opportunities.

The plan focuses on young people, those with special educational needs and disabilities, and others struggling to find their way into training or work.

The initiative aimed to support young people from less-advantaged backgrounds, offering ten-week placements in Mileway offices.
The Internship offers a mix of work experience, skills learning and support for those with an education, health and care plan or additional needs.

The initiative has been designed to address disparities in access to the Civil Service Fast Stream, where applicants from lower socio-economic backgrounds are currently less likely to secure places.

The programme will now run for 18 months, up from 12 months last year, with five interns starting at the Glasgow office at the end of July.

The programme is open to both young people and local businesses, offering practical work experience and supporting recruitment.

The two-year scheme includes mentoring, masterclasses, and a paid internship, giving pupils work-based learning before they leave school.
