Inside the Irish Air Corps
What happens when Transition Year students step beyond the classroom and into the operational world of the Irish Air Corps?
In Season 1 of the TYHub TY Work Experience Docu Series, eight students and four teachers — formed into four school teams (2 students and 1 teacher per team) — take part in an immersive five-day experience designed to challenge resilience, teamwork and confidence at every turn.
Representing:
- Cross and Passion College Kilcullen
- St Mary’s College Naas
- Naas Community College
- Patrician Secondary School Newbridge
Across five intense days, the teams face real-world aviation and military-style challenges including navigation and map reading, helicopter medical response scenarios, survival training, night vision exercises, flight simulation, engineering workshops, public speaking under pressure and operational insights into life inside the Air Corps.
Points are earned. Confidence is tested. Leaders emerge.
Developed through a unique collaboration between TYHub.ie, the Irish Air Corps and AvCon, this five-part docu-series brings students closer than ever to real-world aviation careers.
Narrated by Ally Garvey, the series captures the authentic highs, nerves, humour and breakthrough moments that happen when young people are pushed beyond their comfort zones and given the opportunity to rise.
This is more than work experience.
It’s competition.
It’s collaboration.
It’s transformation.
Watch all five episodes now and discover what it truly takes to soar.
