The Board of Airline Representatives in Germany (BARIG) is to partner with Schule für Touristik (School of Tourism) to support the vocational training of future international aviation assistants by providing practical professional experience and networking opportunities within the airline industry.

With over 30 years of experience, the School of Tourism belongs to the important educational institutions in the aviation and travel industry in Germany. During vocational training, continuing education or studies at the School of Tourism, students can choose between the fields of aviation or tourism. Other subjects include office administration or design and media technology.

The recovery of international air traffic is progressing slowly but steadily, BARIG notes. Due to rising passenger volumes, particularly during holiday seasons, individual airports are searching for professional personnel again. New employees are increasingly needed in the aviation and tourism industry to support the resumption of operational activities.

“Working within various fields of the aviation sector is particularly challenging in these difficult times. However, it also holds many opportunities for the next generation with their innovative approaches and creative ideas,” says BARIG Secretary General, Michael Hoppe.
