Arik Air, through its cabin crew initiative, has held career talk to sensitise students on career opportunities in the aviation industry.

The airline’s crew who spoke at the programme held at St. Francis Catholic Secondary School, Idimu, Lagos, included a pilot, Capt. Babajide Oni and Wale Odeyemi, a cabin crew training instructor.

They said the students could become pilots, aircraft engineers and cabin crew members by remaining focused on their academic studies.

Odeyemi said the programme, apart from kindling the students’ interest in aviation, was also aimed at sensitising them on the importance of the airline’s crew to safety of passengers. He said there is need for replacement of aging workforce in the aviation industry.

Similarly, Capt. Oni noted that the cost of enrolling at aviation schools was expensive, stressing that some students could however get scholarships if they are hardworking and brilliant.

Administrator of the school, Rev. Fr. Leo Muoneme, said it would continue to encourage students to follow their passion.
