2026 Summer High School Job Shadow Experience

NEW & IMPROVED!  This year, BETA has reengineered the Job Shadow Experience—using insights from past participants to create a more immersive, hands-on introduction to careers in electric aviation. BETA’s High School Job Shadow Experience offers two separate week-long summer sessions for students to explore careers in electric aviation. Participants take part in hands-on workshops, meet BETA team members, and get exposure to areas like advanced manufacturing, aviation, electronics, and creative fields. Students also build early professional skills such as resume writing, LinkedIn basics, networking, and presenting themselves in professional settings. Hosted at BETA’s South Burlington locations, the program provides a behind-the-scenes look at an electric aerospace company working to build the future of sustainable flight.   Applicants must be enrolled in high school and be at least 16 years old. A total of 12 students will be accepted per session. Ideal candidates display a positive attitude, willingness to learn, enthusiasm, and curiosity! Applicants will be required to submit a resume and cover letter. Upon receipt, they will be invited to a Video Interview.   IMPORTANT DATES: The application will be open March 30, 2026 - April 30, 2026 Selected students will be notified by May 15, 2026 Acceptance requires availability for the entire week   Applicants will only be selected for a 1-week-long session: SESSION 1: June 22- June 26 SESSION 2: July 27- July 31
