On the 20th of June, Aeroates was pleased to join leading aviation companies at this year’s MCAST Open Day to engage with future students and aviation enthusiasts, offering insights into career opportunities within the aviation industry. There were many organisations present at the event, creating an informative space for students interested in exploring ways to start their aviation journey.
Throughout the event, Aeroates representatives offered practical guidance on how Aeroates can be a future employer, along with insights into training and career opportunities within the aviation industry. One job description that received the most interest during the event was crewing positions. These roles play a critical part in managing airline schedules and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.
“We met many people who are passionate about aviation but unsure where to start,” said Tracy Gerada Ciantar, HR & Compliance Manager at Aeroates. “Events like this allow us to offer personalised advice and inspire the next generation of professionals.”
Students still deciding on their course of study and those thinking about changing careers were among the many people who attended the MCAST Open Day. Regarding the requirements and entry points for aviation jobs like pilots, engineers, and cabin staff, many visitors had particular questions. Our on-site staff provided valuable information on academic and career training opportunities, along with details about industry certifications and in-demand skills.
In addition to outlining how key players, such as Aeroates, collaborate with operators, including ACMI providers and airlines, to streamline HR, compliance, and recruitment processes, we will also highlight the added value these partnerships bring to operational efficiency and regulatory adherence. Discussions focused on how prospective professionals might develop their CVs, gain experience, and advance in the industry over time. The goal was to inspire as well as to educate.
The calm and friendly atmosphere of the MCAST Open Day event made it the perfect setting for deep, meaningful discussions. Visitors valued the chance to talk with aviation professionals face-to-face and learn more about the positions available and how to apply for them.
“The Open Day wasn’t just about promotion, it was about guidance and connection,” says Szabina Toth, HR Specialist at Aeroates. “We were there to listen, share, and encourage people to take their first step with confidence.”
For Aeroates, taking part in this event was an opportunity to invest in the aviation industry’s future workforce. We aim to assist aspiring professionals in navigating their early steps by providing accessible entry points and sharing industry insights.
