ILA CareerCenter
The shortage of qualified talent in the aerospace industry is a burning issue. In 2014, this is once again where the ILA CareerCenter makes its mark.
In Germany alone there are thousands of unfilled positions for scientists, engineers and skilled workers within the aerospace industry. In addition, the general labor market can barely supply the demand for business specialists, flight crews and career changers. At the ILA CareerCenter, however, you will reach both qualified personnel and newcomers.
With an attractive offer of events and services, the ILA CareerCenter has developed into one of the largest aerospace job fairs.

Located in Sint-Genesius-Rode, near Brussels, this non-profit international educational and scientific organization is specialized in fluid dynamics (anything which flows) in the areas of Aeronautics and Aerospace, Environmental and Applied Fluid Dynamics, and Turbomachinery and Propulsion. The von Karman Institute prides itself in providing “advancedtraining in research through research”.
The VKI provides a research master in fluid dynamics (at master-after-master level) and a short training programme. The call for applications for the research master and short training programme is opened.
