Lufthansa International Airline Professional Graduate Program

[philw492]

Hi,

I'm hopefully graduating in July 2014 with a BEng Aerospace Engineering degree and I am looking at engineering and now some other avenues for careers.

The Lufthansa International Airline Professional Graduate Program is currently interesting me quite a lot. I was wondering if anyone on here had done/is doing this graduate program as I would like to gain any information about program if at all possible?

Swiss and Lufthansa both have cadet program's, Both require fluency in German.

That Degree of yours will be handy for applying to BA FPP or Aer Lingus, Only thing is aptitude tests that stand in the way and thousands of folks applying to them, Same with every cadet program, but if you're not win can't win!

The Lufthansa one I am interested in is the IAP one which is operations, and requires only basic/willingness to learn German thankfully, of which I still know a little bit of German and I'm currently learning it.

Pilot wise... well the reason I'm not sticking to the RAF for pilot is because I am slightly colour-blind so ever since I found out I have dismissed any chance of being a pilot. Hence, I'm looking into two fields that interest me the most for a career, operations and engineering.

I am more than happy to move around the world after uni, I'm currently looking at careers in Australia, Germany, Singapore, U.A.E and the U.K. as I know for a fact I could easily live in any of them.

Thanks for your help and best wishes though. I'm looking forward to what this year holds as I effectively find out where my degree will take me, so gathering info about possible jobs at the moment is good but I just want to find out more to know exactly where I want to go!

If its only slight color blindness you might be able to pass class one medical, As far as I know once you can determine Green from red you can pass. Don't hold me to that would have to ask someone like a pilot.

Sorry about the mistake there! you're applying to engineering. Don't know wether you saw it or not Aer Lingus were looking for appertenices I applied and waiting to hear something back, Just as many options engineering wise! again aptitude test stand in the way but lots of options once you Finish your degree.
Lufthansa seem like a good option if you can get it so definitely apply.

Best regards
Philip

I am slightly confused why this has suddenly been moved over to Engineers and Technicians, as the graduate program I am talking about is all to do with the operational side of Lufthansa Cargo and Lufthansa Passenger flights.

I had wondered where my post had disappeared to when looking through the interviews...etc forum, so can I ask if an admin or mod reads this could they kindly put it back where it is actually relevant seeing as the program has nothing to do with engineering.

Thanks

Sorry for not replying in the last comment, was confused why it had been moved but oh well. Being a pilot is something I've always wanted to do but resigned to the fact it probably won't happen, at least on a professional level, may just go for a PPL when I am earning as I know colour-blindness is nowhere near as much of an issue for PPL. Will have to wait and see what this year brings careers wise, keeping my options open and looking at a broad spectrum of career paths to see what comes up.

Cheers!
