Mobility plays an important role at Airbus, the importance of which has increased significantly in the last 10 years and will continue to increase. For this reason, the program, which was originally launched under the name "Intercultural Competencies Programme", was renamed "Mobility 4 Airbus Apprentices" (M4AA). Airbus would like to bring the meaning of "being mobile and flexible" closer to the trainees in this way. After your stay abroad, you have made your first personal developments that will shape your further professional career. Airbus expects them to be courageous, to get involved with the local conditions, to use the professionally well-supervised stay abroad to get used to other cultures (at work and in their free time) and also to represent their country on site, i.e. theirs too Becoming aware of their responsibility, that of course they too will leave a cultural impression on their colleagues abroad. Mobility does not just mean making the young adults physically mobile, but above all mentally, i.e. creating a mindset for openness and flexibility.
As a company, Airbus demands mobility, flexibility and support from its employees in the further internationalization of our company. This goal is so essential for the success of the company that it is even explicitly reflected in the vision of vocational training (see "Training vision"). The key to success is the employees - this includes the trainees in particular, as they are the future of Airbus. The course must therefore already be set during training. On the one hand, this includes raising awareness of mobility, well-founded preparation, but also practical experience of intercultural cooperation. For this reason, the "Mobility 4 Airbus Apprentices" (M4AA) program has become an integral part of vocational training, which has gained in importance in recent years and is supported and valued by top management in all partner countries.
