Overview

• The recruitment campaign specifically targets young people not in employment, education or training and school leavers for nearly 1,000 cabin crew roles next year.
• A company-commissioned survey of 2,000 16- to 24-year-olds found more than 90% were unaware there are no minimum educational requirements and two-thirds felt under-qualified.
• Taster sessions at the London Gatwick Training Centre offer hands-on exposure to the role and aim to demystify the application process.
• Michael Brown, easyJet’s director of cabin services, said the initiative highlights cabin crew as a career with variety, teamwork and progression opportunities.
• Aviation Minister Mike Kane endorsed the drive as part of the government’s Plan for Change to broaden access to rewarding aviation careers.
