Air Products Engineering Work Experience Week (EWEW) 2026

EWEW is an exciting opportunity for students in Years 10-13 to complete work experience at Air Products European Headquarters in Chertsey from Monday 29th June to Friday 3rd of July 2026 (approx. 9am-5pm). During this time students will take part in a number of engineering related activities, including a mini design project, workshops, technical talks and demonstrations.  The aim is to not only give insight into chemical and mechanical engineering as careers but also work on employability soft skills and even slightly dip into what a student may encounter in their university studies.  Keen, conscientious students who perhaps might not have settled on a career choice yet but know that they would like to explore engineering professions are highly encouraged to apply.

Students need to submit both a CV and cover letter to the Europe CDP Council email council@airproducts.com by the 15th February 2026. This is required for their application to be formally processed and considered.

Amazing Apprenticeships

Apprenticeships are a great choice for students if they would like to earn whilst they learn.  They will still need to go to college and gain suitable GCSEs including English and Maths.
