Internship Innovative Instructional Materials & EdTech

Vacancy type: Internship
Location: Schiphol Oost
Hours per week: 40
Education level: HBO; WO
Apply until: 18-11-2026

Are you a driven HBO or WO student with a passion for educational technology and a keen eye for innovation? Do you dream of shaping the future of learning? At KLM, you will get the unique opportunity to shorten the turnaround time of our course materials and increase quality by actively experimenting with Artificial Intelligence (AI), Augmented Reality (AR), and other cutting-edge IT tools. You will support our Part 145/147 instructors and courseware developers in developing engaging and effective learning experiences that meet strict EASA requirements. All this within the heart of our technical training: the KLM Tech Training Centre, surrounded by a social and diverse team with an open culture.

During this internship, you will dive deep into the world of innovative knowledge transfer within a high-tech and strictly regulated environment. Your primary mission is to analyze current processes surrounding instructional material development and identify opportunities to significantly shorten the turnaround time. You will become a crucial link in modernizing our training programs by:

• AI-driven Content Transformation: You will research, test, and implement AI applications to convert complex and extensive textbooks and manuals into structured, target-audience-oriented instructional materials that align with established learning objectives. This means that thick technical documents will be translated more efficiently into manageable learning modules.
• AR for Practice: You will develop and explore Augmented Reality (AR) solutions that support mechanics and technicians with practical elements in the Part 145 domain. Think of interactive guides for the maintenance or inspection of aircraft cabins, structures, or complex technical systems.
• VR Expansion: Together with the team, you will research the possibilities and optimization of our existing Virtual Reality (VR) training in the Part 147 domain, and contribute ideas for further expansion.
• Innovative Presentation Building: You will help our instructors create visually appealing and interactive presentations, actively experimenting with AI-generated content, AR visualizations, and other advanced IT tools.
• Process Optimization: You will analyze the current workflow of instructional material development, identify bottlenecks, and propose innovative solutions to shorten the turnaround time, from concept to implementation.
• Quality Assurance & Compliance: You will ensure that all developed materials are not only innovative but also comply with high quality standards and the specific regulations of EASA Part 147 (for training), Part 145 (for maintenance), including MTOE, MOE, and local process descriptions.

You will join the KLM Tech Training Centre, the place where the expertise for our technical training comes together. Here, our dedicated Part 145/147 instructors and courseware developers work daily on training and upskilling our technicians. This is an innovative and dynamic environment where knowledge sharing is central and where the latest technologies are embraced. Although you will work independently, you will primarily collaborate with the instructors and developers, actively offering solutions and assisting with implementation. Our department is proud of its close-knit and social character, with colleagues from diverse backgrounds who regularly participate in joint activities. An open atmosphere, where there is room for a chat, a laugh, and celebrating successes, is the norm here.

You are curious, analytical, and always looking for opportunities to innovate and improve. With your interest in innovative learning tools, you translate ideas into concrete improvements.

• You are following an HBO or WO education in the direction of innovation in the field of instructional materials and learning tools;

• You have an affinity with aviation;

• You think proactively and come up with ideas for improvement and innovation;

• You take responsibility for your own project and can work independently;

• You communicate easily and dare to approach different stakeholders;

• Hard requirements: analytical ability, result-orientedness;

• Do you speak and write Dutch and English well?

KLM offers you a very educational experience in a dynamic organization in which you will play an important role. You can develop yourself strongly in this internship, both personally and professionally. Additionally, this internship offers you the opportunity to build your network, as you will be sitting at the table with many different KLM employees!

Another advantage of an internship within KLM is the association by and for interns; KLM Taxibaan. This association expands your network and provides pleasant events and interesting excursions within the KLM organization. There is also an internship allowance.

Then don't wait any longer, and apply for the 'final boarding call' on 18-11-2026! You do not need to write a motivation letter; during your application, we will ask you several targeted questions. You will receive a message from us within two weeks after the closing date of the vacancy.

Did you know that according to research, women are less likely to apply than men if they do not meet all the job requirements? A shame. Because 'the perfect candidate' is, as far as we are concerned, a myth. So, do you have the drive to still grow in certain aspects of this role? We look forward to your application.
