Some 20 students have completed an internship programme with the Antigua and
Barbuda Airport Authority, during which they were exposed to various aspects of
airport operations.
For the duration of the programme, the interns were attached to various
departments at the VC Bird International Airport including, Accounts, Operations,
Commercial, Customer Service, the Executive Lounge, Human Resources, IT,
Security, and Stores.
“It was satisfying to see that we could enrich the minds of this group of young
professionals with the knowledge and experience they will need in reaching the
very heights of success as future professionals,” stated Human Resources Manager
Celestine Reynolds.
In sharing their thoughts, the students expressed satisfaction with how the initiative
was grounded in strong, theoretical knowledge while providing them with useful,
relevant, and practical experience, in a real working environment.
Another major priority of the exercise was to provide them with basic business and
technical concepts of the aviation industry.
“The future is bright for the aviation industry when such bright and enthusiastic
minds can show such deep interest in the operations of our VC Bird International
Airport and the Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority. For that I am pleased,”
noted Director of Operations, Joseph Samuel.
The students who benefitted were; Ashanti Bishop, Misheka Mitchell, Sekoi
Joseph, Anaiya Hector, Aalexa Lake, Frances Farrell, Natajah Francis, Rae-Anna
Joseph, Danijha Simon, Denecia Henry, Sierra Letlow, Akeile Benjamin, J’herdine
