Airport and aviation professionals are in demand, but many students are unaware of these rewarding, high-potential careers. Others are simply unable to get a foot in the door. LAWA’s Gateways Internship Program is a dedicated effort that targets local college and high school students, and is specifically designed to open doors to a career path in the aviation industry for young people in the communities surrounding LAX. The program offers paid and unpaid internships where the objective is to provide valuable exposure to aviation-related careers, as well as significant real-world work experience opportunities.
