IAG Cargo has introduced a free, self-paced online program designed to give young people and career changers an introduction to the air cargo industry. The digital initiative, described by the company as a cargo career program and virtual work experience, is open to anyone aged 14 and over.
The program aims to explain how global air freight operations function, using modules that cover core aspects of cargo logistics, from handling and documentation to the movement of sensitive and high-value goods. Participants can complete the content remotely and at their own pace, providing flexible access for students and those exploring aviation-related careers.
According to IAG Cargo, the online course is intended to spark interest in logistics and aviation, rather than serve as a formal qualification. It sits alongside the company’s existing early-career pathways, including internships, work experience and graduate opportunities, and is part of a broader effort to widen access to information about jobs within air cargo.
The initiative is delivered entirely online and is available globally, reflecting the company’s international footprint through the cargo operations of International Airlines Group’s carriers, including British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus, Vueling and Level.
