Industry Immersion – 2027 Aeroskills Intake

Come & Try Day registrations are now closed for 2026.

All High School students wishing to enrol in the Flight One School of Engineering’s funded
Certificate II in Aeroskills at our Adelaide Airport workshop are required to have completed a relevant
industry immersion activity before enrolment.

If you are interested in joining the 2027 intake and have not already completed relevant work experience,
a Come & Try Day or another suitable industry activity, you can complete an alternative activity.

This does not need to be complicated. The purpose is simply to help you gain a realistic understanding of
aviation, aircraft maintenance or a related technical workplace before committing to the course.

Suitable activities may include:

• Visit an airport, aircraft hangar or aviation business and interview someone who works there.
  Ideally speak with an Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, apprentice, supervisor or other technical worker.
• Arrange a workplace or hangar tour with an aviation maintenance or engineering business and
  talk to staff about the work they perform.
• Complete work experience, job shadowing or volunteering in aviation, aircraft maintenance,
  engineering or another closely related technical workplace.
• Attend an aviation industry, employer or careers event and speak directly with an employer
  or technical representative about aircraft maintenance careers.
• Complete a relevant VET taster, short course or practical engineering activity.
• Complete a relevant school or SACE activity involving an employer or industry representative, such as an interview or workplace investigation.
• If a family member or someone you know works in aviation or aircraft maintenance, conduct a
  structured interview or workplace visit with them and document what you learned.

Industry Immersion Activity Record

We have created a simple activity record to help you document your industry immersion.
The PDF can be completed electronically or printed and completed by hand.

What you need to do

1. Complete at least one suitable industry immersion activity.
2. Complete the Industry Immersion Activity Record and briefly explain what you did and
   what you learned about the industry.
3. Where possible, ask the industry person, employer or your school vocational coordinator or teacher to confirm the activity on the form.
4. Save your completed form and any supporting evidence, such as an employer email,
   work-experience paperwork, event confirmation or school verification.
5. Provide the evidence to your school so it can be included with your VETRO referral.

A simple example: visit an aviation workplace or airport facility, speak with an Aircraft Maintenance
Engineer or other aviation worker about their job, complete the Activity Record and obtain their contact details or confirmation of the visit.

Important: simply visiting an airport as a passenger or spectator would not normally provide enough
industry exposure. Your activity should involve some meaningful interaction with an aviation or engineering workplace, employer or industry worker.

Flight One School of Engineering will review the evidence provided and confirm whether it is suitable for the Aeroskills pathway.
