iPads once used by our pilots, cabin crew and engineers are being put to good use in Victorian classrooms.   Since 2022, we have donated 250 iPads with good battery life to three schools, with the latest delivery made to Glenallen School in Melbourne.   Our team got to meet some of the students and teachers giving our iPads a second life, helping with communication and learning.

To celebrate NAIDOC Week, our team members operated a return flight from the Gold Coast to Cairns which was fully crewed by First Nations pilots and cabin crew. Captain James Knagge, First Officer Brett Butler, Cabin Manager Lisa Goolagong and crew Karlene Eaton, Nicole Croke and Taylor Rotumah took part. It’s hoped this special flight will encourage other First Nations people to consider a career in aviation. In Captain Knagge’s words: “If we can all be here, so can you.” At Jetstar, we’re committed to attracting, developing, and retaining First Nations team members.

Pardon the pun but the sky’s the limit! There is so much room for career progression and movement within the group. I made the move from Newcastle to Melbourne and now to the Gold Coast. The exposure to so many various aircraft types has always kept my time interesting,” Mick said.   Apply now for our 2025 Engineering Apprentice Program and takeoff with Jetstar today: https://lnkd.in/gnaKC6Ns

"The apprenticeship programme has been really good. I grew up near a military RAAF base and I’ve always loved aircraft. The day-to-day with the apprenticeship is very varied. I think it’s a really good way to learn, having a big chunk of time in the hangar and then a chunk of time at school. It’s a really great split." Emma, Engineering Apprentice. Takeoff in a new career with Jetstar. Applications to our 2025 Engineering Apprentice Program are open now. Find out more here: https://lnkd.in/gnaKC6Ns
