Casia’s Work Experience

Casia Mancini, a year S6 student from Prestwick Academy first arrived at the Storm Aviation hangar at Prestwick Airport at the end of January this year. That was day one of her planned five-week extended school work-experience programme with us.

To say she was somewhat nervous and reserved on that day would probably be an understatement. Here was a shy young lady, absolutely determined to be a future aircraft engineer, experiencing her first daunting day in an aircraft hangar surrounded by licensed aircraft engineers and mechanics. We worried she would be overwhelmed by the situation. We needn’t have bothered.

Casia was soon firmly out of her shell and getting involved in planning and document control functions before progressing on to numerous other tasks including shadowing of aircraft cabin work, engines, wing panel installs and engine runs. Casia has jumped at every opportunity we have put in front of her in all areas of our business, and has excelled in everything she has been involved in. She is an inspirational young lady.

Casia has really enjoyed her time with Storm and is now focussed even harder on realising her dream of becoming a licensed aircraft engineer.

Casia is hoping to secure an engineering apprenticeship position with us when she finishes school this year, and we would be very happy to have her.
