On Tuesday 19 March, Menzies Aviation talked to our Travel and Tourism students. Menzies Aviation is a ground handler at over 200 airports in six continents, offering land and airside services.

After the talk, Menzies Aviation interviewed our students for summer check in desk agent positions at Heathrow Airport. Richmond upon Thames College (RuTC) has a longstanding relationship with Menzies Aviation, as an RuTC teaching staff member gained industry experience working for the company. Each year the college collaborates with Menzies Aviation to give our students fantastic work experience opportunities over the summer months. After completion of their college courses, many of our students continue working with the company.

In addition to learning from industry professionals, RuTC’s Travel and Tourism second year students organised their own field trips to various locations and sights in London.
