ACI
is pleased to announce the official launch of the anticipated Young
Aviation Professionals Programme that will attract three talented
aviation professionals to Montreal, Canada— the world capital of
civil aviation.
The
launch of the programme follows the January 9, 2013 signing of a
high-profile memorandum of agreement between aviation heavyweights,
Airports Council International (ACI), the International Air Transport
Association (IATA), and the International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO) to support the development of aviation career professionals.
At the signing of the memorandum, ACI Director General Angela Gittens
commented, "ACI is proud to work alongside ICAO and IATA as we
continue to develop professionalism in the industry. The global
aviation business is becoming more complex and for the first time
this will give the best and the brightest an opportunity to
participate in its future development from three perspectives."As part of the Young Aviation Professionals Programme, each of the three candidates will spend four months at ACI, IATA and ICAO, for a total of 12 months, where they will contribute to and deepen their knowledge and understanding of aviation safety, security and environment, with a focus on the inter-relationships between regulatory activities and the airport and airline industries.
Young Professionals will be accompanied by a personal mentor throughout each leg of the programme and provided with regular performance feedback during and the end of their assignments. After successful conclusion of the programme, the Young Aviation Professionals will be retained on a roster for consideration for potential future employment opportunities with ACI, IATA and ICAO.
Candidates under the age of 35, with a minimum of a Master's degree (or equivalent), and an interest in international civil aviation policy development are encouraged to submit their candidature by completing an online application. Candidates must include a letter of motivation that details their professional achievements to date, overall interest in and suitability for the Programme, and career aspirations in regulatory activities and/or the aviation industry. All programme details, documents and the online application form are available at the following URL: http://bit.ly/10bdPd2.
