Introduction to Aviation for School Leavers Summer School Programme

Started on

“TAKING TO THE SKIES: AN INTRODUCTION TO AVIATION FOR SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS”.

BAASeC and the UWI Sagicor Cave Hill School of Business will be hosting our annual week-long summer school to introduce students to the aviation industry. This summer, we will welcome two cohorts of students during the weeks of August 18th – 22nd and August 25th -29th 2025. 

The summer school is an immersive experience exposing school leavers and those on the cusp of leaving school (ages 14-17) to the exciting world of aviation.

It features a series of talks from industry professionals, tours and interactive activities.  The primary focus is on stimulating the budding interest of aspiring aviation professionals and exposing them to a wide cross-section of career options available in the aviation industry.

Key objectives include:

  • Introducing students with interest in aviation to the industry and highlighting its socio-economic importance to Barbados and the Caribbean.
  • Educating students on the diverse range of career paths available.
  • Providing first-hand exposure to aviation environments through field trips.
  • Equipping students with essential personal and professional development skills to succeed in the world of work.

“This summer school has been life changing and eye opening. It also open my eyes to explore aviation to the fullest extent because it gave me an idea of what I want to do with my life and the career choice I am going to choose and this workshop educated me on aviation and the other aspects of it. Also aviation has some very nice people and they really inspired me on thinking further into aviation”
