Leidos is proud to partner with RMIT to expand a scholarship program for aviation students in its second year. In 2025, the program will increase to $150,000 for six final-year students, helping to address workforce challenges and futureproof the aviation industry. The scholarship provides students with opportunities for specialized flight training, mentorship, and real-world industry experience.

A new partnership with United Airlines provides students at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore with a direct path to careers with the airline. The UMES aviation sciences program allows students to complete advanced flight training and earn commercial pilot & flight instructor certificates. https://lnkd.in/eG_P7kSg

At Rising Aviation, students get a head start on their aviation careers, setting them up for success in certificates and higher education. #RisingAviation #AviationCareers #StudentSuccess #AviationEducation #FuturePilots #AviationTraining #AviationLife

And that is the Capstone Project complete. All taught modules of the Cranfield University #MSc_Safety_and_Human_Factors_in_Aviation complete. Over the last two weeks we’ve had a taster of what it feels like to conduct group research under time pressure, working together to apply the things we’ve learnt in the last 8 months to future proofing the aviation industry and risk assessing Single Pilot Operations. Friday morning all four groups presented and it was fascinating to see how we ended up using very similar methodology but coming up with very different insights based on our own experiences and background. I really enjoyed leading Group 1 with King-Yee KO, who has many years working as an aircraft technician in Hong Kong, Cornelius Chukwuma who is an experienced Nigerian Air Force engineer officer and Nishant Patel (Student Affiliate RAeS) who recently completed a bachelor’s degree in aircraft maintenance, having carried out his studies in Ukraine after moving there from India. We were the only group with such similar professional backgrounds but it is fascinating to see how the differences in experience and culture played a part in our analysis. I’m excited about some of the conclusions we’ve reached and am keen to develop our core concept further. All in all the Capstone project really highlighted to me the great privilege I have been granted to take a year out of my career as a Royal Air Force engineer officer to study full time with a wonderful group of people who are all as passionate as I am about making our skies safer. My perspective has grown so much over the time we’ve had together, and while I’m so grateful to the RAF and the Chief of the Air Staff’s Fellowship scheme for the opportunity, it has been made truly valuable by the staff at Cranfield and the students who have shared their time and their insights with me. Now we all turn our focus to our Individual Research Projects. I came into this degree with a proposal already prepared - it was part of my Fellowship application process and the real motivation for me in applying for the course was to do research into #fatigue_management_in_aviation_maintenance. But I was so interested during project proposal time a few months ago on the topics that my colleagues were selecting. It’s going to be an interesting few months! In the meantime, here’s the summary line from the report that Group 1 of the Cranfield Univeristy MSc SHFA Capstone study have submitted. *We are not yet at the end of our technological evolution in aviation. This is just a step along the way, and we cannot know where it will lead. The journey may yet take us to other places that we have not yet imagined. Whatever the goal, the path or the destination, the beginning and the end of our endeavour must be to be either as safe or safer than we are today.* #aviationsafety #womeninengineering #womeninSTEM #keeplearning #careersinaviation

#PurdueGlobal’s online aviation program is soaring to new heights through partnerships and student experiences. “We offer significant benefits such as tuition reductions and flexible course schedules,” said Andrew Rachmell, director of educational partnerships in Purdue’s Office of Industry Partnerships. “This approach ensures that professionals in the aviation industry can continue their education without disrupting their careers.” Learn more about Purdue Global’s School of Aviation here: https://lnkd.in/g_22sdFD

#SACAA #Busary #Programme The SACAA Bursary Programme is now open for applications: ➡️ Pilot (Fixed Wing & Helicopter ➡️ Aircraft Maintenance Engineering ➡️ Aeronautical Engineering Despite some interesting debates at the recent National Aviation Gender Summit about the validity of requirements for Maths and Science, I wholeheartedly agree with this criteria. Aviation is an unforgiving environment from a safety perspective. We need the best and the brightest to operate at the highest standards and with the safest approach. May these bursaries provide the best opportunities to the best candidates who display will and skill.

As we enter the busiest travel season of the year, I am pleased to announce that Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University has earned Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approval for a critical training initiative that offers students in its Air Traffic Control program an accelerated employment path. Through our Embry-Riddle Daytona Beach College of Aviation, the Enhanced Air Traffic Collegiate Training Initiative (AT-CTI) graduates may be placed directly in FAA facilities for controller training, provided they pass the Air Traffic Skills Assessment (ATSA) exam and meet medical and security requirements. This approval provides recognition of the world-class education we provide here at Embry‑Riddle and lets us help FAA solve air traffic controller shortages (and corresponding flight delays), while also allowing our students to enter the workforce quickly after graduation. #AviationEducation #AirTrafficControl #AviationCareers #StudentSuccess #WorkforceDevelopment #AviationTraining #AirTrafficManagement

RMIT University will again partner with Leidos Australia to offer scholarships to students completing an aviation degree in 2025. The program will be expanded to offer more than $150,000 across six scholarships, to bolster the pipeline of highly skilled aviation professionals in Australia.  Check out the complete information on this industry update and thousands of other pilot training industry updates on our platform. #aviation #aviationnews #pilottraining Lea Vesic If you are interested in the latest pilot training industry & aviation updates - check out our AFM platform or join the 16,000+ others and follow our LinkedIn Page. https://lnkd.in/dVUv4u62

Thanks to a network of more than 90 flight training partners that span 120 cities, #PurdueGlobal offers prospective pilots the chance to train close to home while earning a degree. “Flight school partners are integral to the flight program,” said Julius Keller, Ph.D., associate head for the Purdue Global School of Aviation. “Students will achieve their private pilot certificates all the way through CFI (certified flight instructor), and those credits will transfer into the Purdue Global program. And during that same time, they’re also taking the online courses.” https://lnkd.in/gvAMV442

NAVIGATING THE SKIES: THE KEY TO CHOOSING THE RIGHT AVIATION UNIVERSITY. Choosing the right aviation school to kick off your flying journey is crucial, and undoubtedly can be a bit daunting.
