JET’s eighth region launched in Hampshire on 6th July with an inspiration day in partnership with NATS. RAF Odiham will be hosting our Blue Skies Hampshire programme starting in the next academic year.

“We are incredibly grateful for the opportunities JET have given to our youngsters. The trip to NATS has been the most interactive and inspirational day and we look forward to working with you in the future.” Ms E Fricker Head of Year and House, Brune Park Community School Gosport.

12 Students from Brune Park Community School in Gosport were invited along to NATS control centre in Swanwick as part of JET’s Inspirational Outreach programme for a day of aviation themed activities and games that will develop teamwork and leadership skills.

“ I enjoyed the multi-link puzzle activity, it required thinking outside of the box as well as looking at something from different points of view. I have discovered that I can listen to other people and take opinions from other people.” R, 13

NATS will be supporting JET by hosting a variety of inspirational sessions, providing an insight into the world of Air Traffic Control; involving the young people in industry events and fundraising for the trust.

“I really enjoyed the filming. It was fun and creative. I have had the best day.” A,13

“ We have been able to film ‘NATS’ people and speak about how they came to work at NATS. It has been a great day.” L, 13

JET is incredibly grateful to our partners, with their help and yours we are on track to be in nine regions across the UK and offering life-changing opportunities, inspiration and support to 10,000 young people every year by 2020.

“JET is extremely proud of our new partnership with NATS. The complex dynamic of their work and enthusiasm of the staff will enable us to provide high quality inspirational learning experiences for local young people in Hampshire” Allie Hack, JET Area Director South
