Throughout the program, you will have access to a range of structured development initiatives, including monthly development days, work experience with our frontline team and regular coaching and shadowing with our senior leaders. As you approach completion of the 2-year program, we’ll partner with you to land you a role that ensures that your Jetstar career continues to soar.
