Low cost airline easyJet will offer a Graduate Management Scheme, via its easyJet Holidays brand.
The two and half year course is open to all graduates looking for experience within the travel industry.
Successful applicants will undertake six-month ‘rotations’ (placements) across the company’s Customer, Operations, Commercial and Digital functions. Six months before the end of the course, participants will be able to apply for specific vacancies within the easyJet brand.
In a statement, Gary Wilson, CEO of easyJet Holidays, said:
“…we’re passionate about developing a pipeline of diverse, early talent, and accelerating the development of our industry’s future leaders. So I’m delighted to be launching the very first easyJet holidays graduate programme, which will offer participants a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience of strategic projects that will not only help drive our business forward but will help develop the skills and expertise needed to become a travel industry leader of the future.”
The course follows the same structure as a similar course presented by easyJet airlines.
Interested individuals will need to send their CV by February 12th, where successful applicants will then be required to take part in a ‘task-based’ assessment along with a video submission. Finally, there will be a face-to-face interview, with successful applicants scheduled to start the course in September 2025.
Who are easyJet Holidays?
Initially formed as a collaboration between easyJet and Hotelopia (itself a subsidiary of First Choice Holidays), the partnership offered hotels near airports flown to by the airline.
By 2007, operations were expanded to offer customers specific package holidays – with easyJet offering flights, and Hotelopia accommodation.
Following the collapse of rival Thomas Cook, the company reformed in 2019. easyJet Holidays provides package holidays for the UK, France, Switzerland and Germany.
At the time the airline said in a statement:
“The total European package holidays market is worth around £61bn per year. We know customers want holidays with various durations and not the traditional seven and 14 nights. The UK alone is a £13bn market and has grown by 6% annually.”
