Where You Will Learn

The Orlando Support Campus is home to JetBlue’s primary training facility — JetBlue University — which welcomes thousands of new and existing Crewmembers each year for New Hire Orientation and a blended approach to operational training. You’ll get to tour JetBlue’s modern facility, which includes 40+ flight deck and cabin simulators, as well as The Lodge, which operates as a boutique hotel for learners, where every element is designed to reinforce JetBlue’s values, promote collaboration and teamwork, and deliver the JetBlue Experience.
