Some of the world’s most loved and well-known aviation brands set up shop at the Emirates Aviation University campus today to give students a chance to talk all things careers.
The third edition of the careers fair included the likes of the Emirates Group, flydubai, Air Arabia, Airbus, Dubai Aerospace Enterprise (DAE) Ltd, Lufthansa Technik, Thales, CAE Inc., Royal Aircraft Maintenance, Roeder CSC FZCO, Sky One FZE, Falcon Aviation Services and dnata Logistics.
Around 400 recent graduates and senior students of the University visited the different stalls at the careers fair and grabbed the chance to meet these companies and discover the world of work in aviation.
Dr Ahmad Al Ali, Vice Chancellor of Emirates Aviation University (EAU), said: “We have a sharp focus on bringing industry and academia together. Our careers fair is a major platform for companies, our graduates and current students to connect and network. It opens up a world of opportunities, knowledge, practical info and advice on the different careers in aviation and other industries. Our students are able to leverage these opportunities and advice throughout their lives. This is our first careers fair after the pandemic and the interest among our students and aviation partners was at an all-time high.”
