Interest in aviation is common. Being ready for an aviation job is a different thing.

Success in today's aviation industry requires more than interest. It takes relevant skills, recognised training and a commitment to keep learning once you are in the job.

New roles are appearing across the airport and the airline, and employers have clear expectations of the candidates they shortlist. Many applicants only find out what those expectations are after they have been turned down.

This session lays them out in advance and gives practical guidance on getting job-ready.

Four areas where the new roles are emerging

Same industry, different kinds of work. Knowing where you want to be makes it easier to choose the right training.

    The practical abilities the role depends on, not just interest in the industry.

  • Continuous learning

    Why employers favour people who keep building their skills after they are hired.

  • Job-ready preparation

    Practical steps to take before you apply, so you start from a stronger position.

You'll leave knowing which of the four areas suits you, what employers will expect from you, and what to work on first.

Where to build these skills: the MBE platform

The session also introduces Blue Ocean Corporation's Mastering Business Excellence (MBE) platform. It offers career-focused aviation courses that you can take in two ways: self-paced, or instructor-led.

Self-paced suits people who are working or studying and need to fit learning around their week. Instructor-led suits those who want a trainer and a group to learn with.

You'll see how the courses are organised and how to choose between the two formats.

Who should attend

Anyone who wants an aviation career and would like a clear picture of what employers expect before applying.

Students and school leavers

Deciding what to study or train for next.

Recent graduates

Looking at aviation as a first job and wanting to know how to stand out.

Career changers
