Then the students visited two workshops, where the final decoration of an aircraft is completed and the aircraft painted. Students had the opportunity to learn the state-of-the-art painting equipment and the painting process. After the factory tour, students explored the office environment of the Delivery Center and then participated in a career discussion with Boeing staff members, during which they asked questions about the life cycle of an aircraft, the experience of being a pilot, the aerospace industry, job opportunities at Boeing, and their career development. Boeing employees also shared their own career paths with the students.

Through this visit, the students had a direct experience of Boeing’s work environment and advanced equipment, had better understanding of the career in the aerospace industry, and had an opportunity to reflect on their own career development.
