Careers - September 2023

  • Employers in aviation are increasingly seeking licensed pilots with post-secondary education.
  • Graduates can find initial employment with a variety of air operators, typically flying small single and multi-engine aircraft or working on ground crew. Some graduates choose to pursue a flight instructor rating or a float plane rating to increase their opportunities. Building flight hours will allow graduate pilots to eventually fly larger, more complex aircrafts.
  • Long-term pilot employment prospects are excellent and many major carriers are predicting a shortage in the industry. Porter Airlines has offered Conestoga graduates a pathway to employment through a mentorship program that will create opportunities for a first officer position (Destination Porter). Qualified graduates will also have the opportunity to apply for the Jazz App which is an application pathway to training as a first officer at Jazz Airlines. Other major airlines are also considering pathway programs for Conestoga Aviation graduates.

On average, 83% of graduates from the last three years (2018 to 2020) found employment within six months of graduation.
