The Airbus Digital Challenge has been shortlisted for the 2024 Digital Communication Awards (DCA) in the Recruiting & Employer Branding category!

To build a recruitment pipeline of digital and non-traditional profiles for aerospace, earlier this year Airbus held a 3-day, online, interactive challenge. Designed and delivered by Petrus, the Airbus Digital Challenge attracted over 1,700 participants in under 1 month with 400+ talented final year students & recent graduates with a ‘ready to hire’ profile for digital shortlisted, and 100 selected to take part.

We had a brilliant time together and this award nomination is testament to the creativity and expert delivery of my fantastic team at Petrus together with the vision and collaborative effort of our endlessly engaged and pioneering client Airbus – a successful partnership since 2008 and one we’re immensely proud of.

Examples of good practice in university-industry relations for skills, educational transformation, innovation and impact, from global participants and partners of the Industry Forum

Since the Industry Forum was created in 2017, we have intentionally encouraged participants to share examples of good practice to inspire & learn from each other; to scale what is good to make it great; to share our failures & lessons learned; to make connections & stimulate meaningful dialogue; and to energise a community that wants to make a difference.

During the 2024 Industry Forum in Shenzhen, we invited participants and our partners to share examples of good practice in university-industry interaction addressing the themes our event also addressed. Thanks to a fantastic response from the community an impressive range and variety of work from around the world is featured on the following pages.
