Manchester Airport Academy Job Fair

Last week we attended The Manchester Airport Job Fair advertising over 2500 jobs from 30 employers. 

They were joined by employers like: Jet2, Stobart Aviation, Manchester Airport Group, Swissport, Barburrito, Dnata, SSP UK & many more.

Over 850 people turned up, with hundreds of interviews scheduled and over 100 job offers being made on the day.

The Manchester Airport Academy is an employment hub for the airport and our business partners and is run in partnership with Trafford College. A one-stop shop for anyone interested in on-site vacancies, it provides free tailored training programmes to enable job-seekers to gain relevant skills and secure employment at the airport. The training programmes offer a unique opportunity to get onto the aviation industry employment ladder. Attendees learn the basics and the terminology needed to succeed at the airport, boosting their confidence when applying for a role. They also have access to current vacancies and receive unique support in applying for roles following the programme, including CV and mock interview workshops.

The Manchester Airport Academy team works with a variety of different customers and trainees, supporting them on their journey to a thriving career at Manchester Airport. The short courses which typically run for two weeks take place at the Airport itself, in our bespoke training classrooms. Working within the airport we are able to give learners first-hand experience working within this fast-paced environment.
