Swissport Academy
Job opportunities
 
The Swissport Academy is a new institution designed to identify and promote the talent we need to remain a world-class service provider. The inaugural curriculum was very promising.
 
Living up to the promise
 
More than 30 000 people work for Swissport around the world.Their shared objective is to deliver a product of consistently high quality at every single location we serve. It goes without saying that the motivation of each individual to perform at his and her best is the key to achieving this goal.

For this reason, we want to build an inspiring working environment that rewards excellence and offers attractive career opportunities that befit a world-class employer.

Inspiration, of course, comes from leadership based on respect and the ability to recognize and promote talent.To ensure the quality of our management, Swissport regularly conducts talent assessments including an annual examination of the entire management development process.This involves building on existing training structures at our stations as well as in all of our companies and divisions.

In addition, members of the executive management undergo annual groupwide screening processes. Individuals at every level of our workforce have an opportunity to become part of a group management pool if they receive the required amount of credits in the areas of special care, encouragement, education and development. Flexibility, the achievement of goals, strong social skills, and personality also count highly.

The ambition to recruit the best and brightest human resources for each job resulted in the creation of the Swissport Academy, held for the first time in September 2005. The one-week curriculum involved rigorous training followed by a series of case studies and presentations to Swissport's executive management. It was a total success as confirmed by all 23 participants.

Career development and training at every level are the milestones of this human resources concept designed to identify the most motivated people for each position.
