Toronto Pearson and Seneca Partner for Airport Jobs

Toronto Pearson International Airport and Seneca Polytechnic have teamed up to build a talent pipeline for students seeking employment in aviation, construction, and maintenance. Airport representatives explained that the initiative addresses a workforce-wide recruitment strategy as expansions unfold.

Currently, the airport and surrounding businesses employ roughly 52,000 workers while serving 50 million passengers annually. Officials project that by the mid-2030s, the employee count will climb to 68,000 alongside an increase to 65 million yearly passengers.

School representatives noted that the agreement provides insight into upcoming infrastructure needs, allowing the institution to align its curriculum with industry demands. Beyond pilot and flight attendant training, the program extends to trades, logistics, and business-related fields.
