Conair Aviation Work Experience Opportunity

The Air Cadet League in partnership with Conair is offering a 40 hour work experience program to selected senior cadets that will provide them with the opportunity to work in an aerospace technical maintenance facility and fulfil their High School Graduation Transitions work experience requirement. The program is designed to expose those cadets who are contemplating a career in the aerospace industry to a real life experience helping maintain aircraft.

Cadets attend the program as a high school student. To qualify for the program a cadet must:

• be a resident of BC,
• be a grade 11 or 12 high school student,
• be eligible for enrolment in the provincial work experience program,
• be excused from school for the period of the one week work experience,
• have successfully completed a criminal record check, and
• have a demonstrated technical interest.

Students will be expected to attend an orientation tour and briefing at Conair on Tues 31 Jan at 10am, provide their own pair of approved work safety boots and provide their own transportation to and from the Conair Maintenance Facility at the Abbotsford Airport. The Conair normal work day is from 7am to 3:30 pm. Students from outside the Lower Mainland are responsible for providing their own transportation, rations and quarters. The program will consist of two week long work serials of 4 students each. The first serial will be conducted from 6th to 10th Feb and the second from 13th to 17th Feb 2012.
