Cathay Pacific has launched the latest “I Can
Fly” programme, with 100 Hong Kong students embarking on a journey
that will see them learn all about the world of aviation and at
the same time gain valuable community service experience.
First launched in 2003, the programme has been
revamped this year to include more in-depth and comprehensive
out-of-classroom learning opportunities, a wider variety of
activities, and overseas learning experiences. Major activities
for the 2010 “I Can Fly” include a three-day training camp,
enhanced ground-school training that will cover both flight
operations and inflight services, visits to key aviation
facilities at Hong Kong International Airport, a photography
workshop that encourages Healthy Lifestyle, and a self-designed
social service programme.
All members will also have the opportunity to
enjoy an educational experience overseas, such as a flying course
in Adelaide, a trip to aviation facilities at the Boeing factory
in Seattle, or a visit to the Airbus plant and the Civil Aviation
University of China in Tianjin.
Sheron Liu, a member of the 2003-2004 “I Can
Fly”, and now a Cathay Pacific Customer Sales Officer as well as a
staff leader for this year’s programme, said, “‘I Can Fly’ offered
me a great opportunity to gain a tremendous amount of aviation
knowledge and broaden my horizons. The passion shown by my staff
leaders motivated me to find a job with Cathay Pacific, and I’m
pleased now to share my experience with the new members.”
