For Aviation employers

When young people think of a career in aviation, what jobs come to mind?

Here's what 300 young people had to say.

When shown a major UK airline, 86% said pilot or cabin crew.

That means out of hundreds of roles in aviation, a huge chunk of the next generation of talent can only picture two.

The problem

Young people can't apply for roles they don't know exist

Most teams like yours are struggling to find the right people or feel invisible to the next generation of talent. But the issue might not be what you think.

Young people don't need more ambition, drive or determination. They have that in abundance. What they need is more information, opportunity and access.

With the huge variety of roles available within aviation, the majority of young people have narrowed their view down to two before your recruitment campaign has even launched.

Career decisions are being made far earlier than organisations realise, so reaching the right people with the right information at the right time is key.

Social proof

The companies in your industry already acting

Many of our partners are already using Springpod to increase career awareness and confidence in young people. Here's what learners had to say.

Learning knowledge about the company and opportunities they offer not just on planes.

I enjoyed learning about the different sectors within the industry such as sales and marketing.

I liked learning about all the job options available. Sometimes it's easy to forget that there isn't only a narrow path to employment that a person has to choose and will stay in for the rest of their life, so knowing there's lots of other things I can choose to do is nice.

It gave me the opportunity to explore different departments like customer services to marketing.

The opportunity to learn about different roles within and how various teams work together to create amazing holiday experiences. It was interesting to see how customer service, marketing, operations, and other departments all connect.

I liked learning about the different departments, especially the business side (like digital marketing).

I didn't realise how many opportunities and jobs there were and it's nice to see that there is a job for almost anything.
