You’ll complete the programme with more than just a sense of achievement. Over the course of your time as an Apprentice Analyst in our Cargo Commercial Insight team, you’ll develop the analytical mindset, technical skills, and commercial awareness that form the foundation of a successful career in aviation, logistics, or data-driven decision making.
You’ll build real-world experience working across core business areas—forecasting, revenue optimisation, market analysis, and performance tracking. You’ll gain confidence using tools like Excel, Tableau, and SQL, and you’ll learn how to translate complex datasets into strategic insights that shape commercial outcomes.
By the end of the programme, you’ll have contributed to live commercial projects, supported strategic decision-making at a global scale, and developed a strong grasp of how data informs planning, pricing, and performance in a fast-paced, international business.
Whether your next step is further study, a permanent role within our Cargo team, or a move into wider analytics, commercial, or operations roles across Virgin Atlantic, you’ll leave with the skills, experience, and connections to thrive.
In return for your curiosity and commitment, we’ll support you every step of the way. You’ll learn from experts, collaborate across departments, and grow in a business where data and insight sit at the heart of how we make decisions and deliver for our customers.
