Aviation Career Exploration (ACE)

AVIATION CAREER EXPLORATION (ACE)

This year, the Richmond SD38 Career Programs Office is partnering with Elevate Aviation to offer our inaugural Aviation Career Exploration (ACE) program. This week-long, site-based (YVR) program for students will foster active engagement through immersive activities, presentations, and hands-on exploration in a journey of learning about careers in the aviation industry. It is a unique opportunity for students to learn about the basics of aviation and what kind of careers are available in the exciting aviation industry.

On April 5-9, 2027, participating Richmond SD38 high school students will get to see the aviation industry in a whole new way! This program is geared for gr.10 and 11 students. They will go behind the scenes with partners like Harbour Air, Air Canada and more to look into careers like piloting, aircraft maintenance engineering, de-icing, flight attending and more!

This program has limited seats, so we encourage interested students to notify their school counsellors of their interest to attend. We will select names from among those grade 10 and 11 students who have expressed an interest on the Career Programs survey completed at the end of our gr.10-11 Career Programs school-wide presentations and in partnership with each secondary school in Richmond. We will be announcing the selected students in February - after the start of semester 2.
