airline and airport management at the University of West London, currently working as an HR technician for Vueling Airlines
Six years ago I decided to move to the UK and study aviation. Staff at the University of West London are unbelievably well-trained and passionate, and there are fantastic tools and support. Afterwards, I secured a job working for Starwood Hotels, with the help of the career service centre, and later as cabin crew for easyJet. Once I was introduced to the HR sector, I jumped at the opportunity to experience it by working for one of the very few aviation-specific HR firms, Venari Partners. I learned about some of the world’s top airlines, revenue management, crewing and many more aspects. I worked on a range of projects for different airlines, and eventually joined Vueling Airlines’ HR team.
Steve Cannon, 26 Studying for an HND in travel and
❛ tourism at City of Glasgow College
I have always been interested in travel from a young age. This was cemented when I went to live in Berlin four years ago as part of a volunteering exchange programme. I’d like to use what I’m learning to build a career in management, ideally as part of an aviation management team. The best thing about the course at City of Glasgow College is the state-of-the-art facilities. The lecturers are fantastic and because they’re from the industry they combine real-life experience with hands-on practical advice. I didn’t expect the graded units to be so challenging but I just had to study that bit harder! The course has taught me that to work in the tourism industry you need to be open- minded and able to cope with change.
