Who can apply?
- Applicants must be at least eighteen and currently registered at, or recently graduated from, a college, university or trade school. The page does not impose a later undergraduate class-year minimum.
- Participants must be available for the full twelve-week program. Each departmental posting can add a relevant degree, skill or schedule requirement.
- Summer 2027 departments include communications, general aviation, information technology services, maintenance, and planning and development. Apply to a specific department rather than one undifferentiated airport role.
The overview accepts students and recent graduates, but each department can have its own degree and skill requirements. Read the selected posting before assuming broad eligibility guarantees a match.

Our editorial advice · not employer requirements
How to prepare a stronger application
Map an airport as a connected operation. Prepare one example showing how you handled a handoff among people, systems or locations while maintaining accurate communication.
For technical teams, explain reliability and testing. For communications or planning, explain the audience, constraints and decision. The airport setting is shared, but the evidence should match the department.
