The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), in partnership with the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and Airports Council International (ACI), is offering opportunities for the career development of aviation professionals through a Young Aviation Professionals Programme. Currently, there are opportunities for three Young Aviation Professional Officer positions located in Montréal, Canada.
Expected contribution: The selected Young Aviation Professional Officers will be expected to contribute to ICAO, IATA and ACI work programmes related to aviation safety, air navigation capacity and efficiency, or to economic development of air transport, aviation facilitation, or environmental protection, focusing on inter-relationships between regulatory activities of ICAO and those in the airline and airport industries in IATA and ACI. For illustrative purposes, examples of typical duties and responsibilities which could be assigned are provided in Appendix A and B.
Learning Opportunity: The Young Aviation Professional Officers are given the opportunity to advance their knowledge and understanding of international civil aviation regulatory activities and of the airline and airport industries. Each Young Aviation Professional will be accompanied throughout the Programme by a subject-matter expert from ICAO, IATA and ACI. Furthermore, regular performance feedback during and at the end of the assignments will be provided. Upon successful conclusion of the Programme, the Young Aviation Professionals will be retained on the ICAO roster for possible consideration for suitable ICAO posts in the future and may also be encouraged to apply for suitable posts at ACI or IATA.
Duration: Each Young Aviation Professional Officer position will be filled for twelve months.
