Students across the Travel and Tourism programme got inspired for their next steps as they heard from a visiting guest speaker from East Midlands Airport about their unique and exciting summer Customer Cadet Scheme.
Harry Winter, Customer Services Duty Manager at Manchester Airport Group (MAG), owners of East Midlands Airport visited with students to present more information about the varied and hands-on roles available as part of the scheme. With positions from passenger assistants, baggage handling, ramp operations, and much more, applicants all have the opportunity to try out different roles and discover careers they’d never previously considered.
The Customer Cadet Scheme, which takes off in the summer continues into the new academic year, allowing learners to continue studying with Loughborough College whilst gaining valuable working experience at East Midlands Airport.
Advanced Practitioner for Travel and Tourism, Elizabeth Gensler shared, “The Customer Cadet Scheme with MAG and East Midlands Airport is the perfect combination of putting theory straight into practice for our students.
“They can take the knowledge and skills they develop here at College, and transfer them directly into a working role at the airport, meaning they are constantly learning, growing, and being inspired by the numerous roles available as part of the programme.”
