Definition Working Student

Working students are students who are enrolled at a University or some other institution of higher education, and who are employed in a reasonably long, fixed-term position parallel to their studies. This position must not be confused with an internship or with the possibility of writing a final thesis.

This employment usually takes place directly on the company's premises. A working student's main focus remains on their studies, which is why, during term-time, working students are not allowed to work more than 20 hours per week.

Working students therefore usually work near their place of study, so as to conveniently combine studying and employment.

As a Working Student in the Project & Portfolio Management (PPM) team, you will play a key role in driving user adoption, knowledge sharing, and engagement across Airbus Commercial. Your main focus will be the independent management and cultivation of our Community of Practice "Manage Projects". You will serve as the heartbeat of this community creating engaging virtual events, facilitating discussions, and supporting our team in preparing and delivering high-quality PPM training sessions.

• Content Creation: You will write and publish community updates, articles, announcement posts, and newsletters to keep our members informed and inspired.

• Independent Initiatives: We value proactive minds. You will have the freedom to independently identify areas for community growth, propose new interactive formats, and run small adoption campaigns.

• Benchmark and cross-fertilisation: you will connect and benchmark with other connected Communities, ensure best practices sharing and cross-fertilisation, ensure proper synchronisation of events (overall roadmap consistency, avoid overlaps…)
