About the Council for Airport Opportunity
The Council for Airport Opportunity (CAO) is a nonprofit trade association created in 1972 in collaboration with airline companies, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the Mayor’s Offices of the City of Newark, and City of New York, and the Federal Aviation Administration.
The mission of CAO is to identify and address the critical employment needs of the communities surrounding the New York and New Jersey Metropolitan airports, while at the same time responding to the hiring needs of the airport tenants and the aviation industry.
The aviation industry is responsible for over 700,000 jobs in the NY/NJ region. CAO is a bridge between individuals seeking employment in the industry and employers seeking qualified, motivated talent. Since its founding, CAO has placed over 65,000 local residents in aviation jobs, with no cost to the employee or employer.
CAO’s range of services includes job training programs for unemployed individuals, summer employment opportunities for young people, hosting the Senior Community Service Employment program to train mature workers, ongoing customer service training for job seekers, and hospitality and food handling training to over 10,000 residents of the communities surrounding the metropolitan area airports. In addition, CAO New Jersey is certified to operate an Online Performance Assessment Test Center, in addition to a seasonal temporary staffing entity called Academy Staffers.
