EUROPEAN ROTORS Provides Helicopter Industry Training and Recruitment Opportunities

Coinciding with the The VTOL Show and Safety Conference, EUROPEAN ROTORS has scheduled a Training Day focusing on safe helicopter operations, and a Career Day for the next generation of pilots and engineers. The organizers of EUROPEAN ROTORS recognize the importance of workforce development, and have made strategic decisions to ensure the subject is central to the event. 

Training Day
On Monday, November 7, the day prior to the exhibition opening, EUROPEAN ROTORS is organizing a Training Day at Kölnmesse, just opposite hall 8. Renowned professionals will hold lectures on a range of key topics, including courses such as:

  • Auditor Refresher by AeroEx

  • Helicopter SAR Operational Management Systems by Search & Rescue International

  • Maintenance Check Flight Training by CopterSafety.

  • Nominated Postholder Course by British Helicopter Association

Everybody booking a paid training course will get free access to all three show days.

Career Day
Two days later on Wednesday, November 9, EUROPEAN ROTORS will hold a Career Day, in the same area as the Training Day, 2nd floor of the Conference Centre North. This initiative is aimed at attracting people to the industry and showcasing career development opportunities for those already working with helicopters.

The Career Day will include presentations from various organizations about the future plans of their businesses and opportunities. Organizations seeking to recruit for specific vacancies will have an area available for 1-1 interviews.

Exhibitors are being given the opportunity to participate in the Career Day by booking a desk for interviews, or an area in which to hold a presentation. Additionally, the interactive platform of EUROPEAN ROTORS offers a dedicated section for Careers in which relevant content can be posted.

The organizers are working with a selection of schools and universities to encourage students to attend, and a social media campaign will further attract younger visitors.
