1. Model UN/ICAO Forum
Organized annually and conducted on ICAO’s premises, the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) ‘Model ICAO’ is an extra-curricular activity whereby students can role play as Delegations to ICAO’s 36-member Governing Council, simulating its committees, reviews and other governance and policy related outcomes.
The Model ICAO is designed to give participants insight into international diplomacy and the challenges associated with forging global consensus on air transport governance issues such as collaborative safety approaches, air navigation procedures, the adoption of international Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) and their formal incorporation into the Annexes to the Chicago Convention, and aviation’s critical role in fostering sustainable socio-economic development.
University-level students pursuing courses in the fields of international law, political science, management, and engineering from Council Member States are eligible to participate in the Model ICAO Council. The event usually involves substantial research, public speaking, debating, as well as critical thinking, and participants enhance their writing skills and work towards conflict resolution and cooperation, thereby developing leadership skills.
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the Airports Council International (ACI) have joined forces to support the development of tomorrow's leaders of the air transport industry through the Young Aviation Professionals Program.
ICAO regularly offers exciting internship opportunities across various disciplines, providing aspiring professionals with a unique chance to gain hands-on experience in the aviation sector. As an intern with ICAO, you will work alongside experienced professionals, contribute to impactful projects, and deepen your understanding of global aviation. Join us to develop your skills, expand your professional network, and help shape the future of air transport.
