The Austrian air traffic control company Austro Control is holding its traditional application day online this year. On September 29, 2021, people interested in the profession of air traffic controller can obtain information virtually and apply straight away.
As part of the online tour, the controllers in the tower, in the approach and departure control or in the Area Control Center are visited and an insight into the activities of air traffic control is given. Discussions about training and everyday working life round off the online recruiting day program.
Air traffic controllers are responsible for security in Austrian airspace. You specify the flight route and altitude, issue the take-off permit, give clearance to land and ensure that aircraft never come too close.
Anyone who dares to do this challenging and varied job will have the opportunity to obtain information directly from Austro Control online again on September 29th.
"Our Austro Control online recruiting day is the best opportunity to learn more about the profession of air traffic controller. Aviation is fascinating and the job combines a varied, responsible job with a good work-life balance. I am particularly pleased that half of all those who have been accepted as trainees with us were women. My appeal therefore goes out especially to all high school graduates who are looking for a professional challenge: simply register for the online recruiting day, take part, ask questions, get comprehensive information and then apply straight away to become an air traffic controller!" says Austro Control Managing Director Valerie Hackl.
We are looking for high school graduates who have a good spatial imagination, enjoy working in a team and are stress-resistant. The prerequisite for admission is the passing of a multi-stage selection process with a final assessment center and a positive aviation medical check. The training lasts around three years and takes place in the Austro Control training center in Vienna.
