Learner goals and capabilities

Are you looking for students to assess and provide input on your airline or airport operations? Teams of students from the BCIT Airport Operations Diploma Program would be eager to work on a practicum project idea and/or capstone project airports:

Hosts: Airline or airport personnel with assistance by BCIT Airport Operations faculty

Project ideas: Student suggested a project related to COVID19 such as how to prepare for a safe airport and airline service post COVID19 – TERMINAL, GROUNDSIDE and AIRSIDE while maintaining customer service and quality.

Note: If you want to access funding for students, it can be done through Canadian Council of Aviation and Aerospace in regards to WIL. If matched with your company, we would be happy to advise on applying for funding. There are also other funding opportunities, such as the federal Student Work Placement Program (SWPP).

These placements do not require payment, but it's at the discretion of the host to provide remuneration or gifts.
