Boeing: does its 12 month placement internships sponsor a UK visa?

No12 Month Placement internships (UK)

No. Boeing does not sponsor its 12 month placement internships for international students who need a visa. Boeing's UK 12 month placements are posted as individual intern roles, mostly with Boeing Defence UK: finance and finance (accounting) in Bristol, commercial in Bristol, simulator engineering in Crawley, data analytics in Bristol, programme management and PMO analyst in Frimley, government affairs, talent acquisition and HR services in Bristol, support engineering data in Welwyn Garden City, and supply chain management for fixed wing and vertical lift. The finance placement covers overhead rates, month end close and a rotation outside finance, with study towards a professional qualification. Every advert says Boeing will not sponsor employment visas. Pay is not published.

“Right to work in UK - We do not sponsor applicants for employment visa status. Employer will not sponsor applicants for employment visa status.”

Boeing, from its own careers pages

The catch: Some defence placements, including the Bristol finance role, require an intrusive security clearance needing five years of uninterrupted UK residence before applying, which rules out most international students even with a valid student visa.
