NAVAL AVIATION PROSPECT SCHEME - NEXTSTEP (NAPS)

On Thursday, September 12th, I was lucky enough to attend the NAPS Nextstep Program Naval Aviation Prospect Scheme (NAPS), a Fleet Air Arm (FAA) recruiting initiative established in 2007 as a mitigation strategy to combat critical manning shortages in both aircrew and aviation. 

It was an eye-opening day for all 12 Year 10 students, and we were all exhausted by the end of the day.

The day consisted of :

  • Leadership / Physical Activities
  • Defence Force Careers / YOU Session
  • NAPS Simulators
  • Interview Techniques / Resume Writing – Presentation
