Good news for budding air traffic controllers: The Austro Control Recruiting Day is taking place despite CoV restrictions - but not as usual. 

Because this year the event will be held virtually for the first time on March 20th. Above all, applicants should be given a look behind the scenes at air traffic control. “We accompany air traffic controllers to their workplace in the tower, in approach and departure control or in the Area Control Center. Discussions about training and everyday working life round off the Recruiting Day program, ”said the AC.

“An air traffic controller is a great and fascinating job that has a lot to offer - a high level of responsibility, a varied job and also a good work-life balance. It is particularly important to us that significantly more women have this profession on their personal radar. Our first online recruiting day is a good opportunity to obtain comprehensive information, and hopefully we will be able to welcome many new air traffic controllers with us in the near future! ”Says Austro Control Managing Director Valerie Hackl.

We are looking for high school graduates who have a good spatial imagination, are resilient and want to face the challenges of selective training. 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.
