Danny

Danny is 15 years old. He attends a school which helps young people who have self-excluded from mainstream school.

Danny was always the politest of individuals, but his self-belief was lacking when ELSA first met him. Working through various career-focused workshops, Danny let ELSA know of his interest in engineering. This led to a conversation with the team at Ryanair. Danny spent a day with ELSA and the team at Stansted, meeting the engineers in the hangar, getting a glimpse into the “day in the life of an engineer’, being up close to an engine and even sitting in the simulator and landing the plane on the tarmac! Danny became a confident, energised and excited young man. In summer Danny spent two weeks back with the team, undertaking work experience. He travelled solo, from North London, spent full working days on site and really got to grips with life as an aircraft engineer.
