Citywing has launched its new internship programme with the appointment of Ross Wilson and Jamie Burkitt.
Both are from the Isle of Man. Former Ballakermeen High School student Ross Wilson, 21, a Chester University graduate, will be responsible for marketing Citywing’s Isle of Man routes, while Jamie Burkitt, 18, who recently left St Ninian’s High School, will be promoting the Cardiff-Anglesey route.
Jamie said: ‘To have left school only recently then be accepted as one of Citywing’s first interns is a great way to gain a foothold on the career ladder at an early age.’
Ross added: ‘Everyone at Citywing has been very welcoming and supportive. They have a huge amount of combined experience of the airline industry and from day one have been extremely generous in sharing their knowledge with Jamie and me.’
Citywing managing director David Buck said: ‘Against the background of an increasingly competitive jobs market, locally and internationally, Citywing’s new internship programme aims to offer some of the Island’s young people early career opportunities and help them to gain practical experience of the world of work while making a positive contribution to the Manx economy.
‘Citywing’s routes out of the Isle of Man and the Cardiff-Anglesey operation, combined with our enviable punctuality record and consistent high standards of customer service, present a wealth of marketing potential on which Ross and Jamie are clearly keen to capitalise. We are pleased to welcome them to the team and look forward to helping to develop their skills and promoting the Citywing brand.’
