Creating aviation/aerospace education ecosysystems with government, industry and education workforce development programs to connect kids and parents to aviation and aerospace career opportunities
The #aviation and #aerospace industries are promoting their #career opportunities all wrong. After attending the American School Counselors Association last week, I realized #aviation #aerospace #career promotion is all wrong and is missing a key ingredient in reaching kids early and often -- School #CareerCounselors -- who are notoriously difficult to reach. This article tells you how to reach them and, more importantly, what the industry needs to do to develop the content, videos and websites they need. https://lnkd.in/gkNX7tsi #aviationcareers #aerospacecareers #careerandtechnicaleducation Aerospace Industries Association, Aeronautical Repair Station Association, Airlines for America, Cargo Airline Association, National Business Aviation Association, National Air Traffic Controllers Association NATA- National Air Transportation Association, ACM Aerospace Components Manufacturers, Inc., Airports Council International - North America, AAAE, Vertical Flight Society, General Aviation Manufacturers Association, AUVSI — Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International, Aircraft Electronics Association, International Aviation Womens Association AIAA Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Textron, Gulfstream Aerospace and BOMBARDIER International Brotherhood of Teamsters, Air Line Pilots Association, Aviation Technician Education Council Transport Workers Union AOPA,
I agree. Getting with the counselors is key! Even in an area as saturated with the aviation industry as where I live, it is still difficult to get the message through to the counselors.
Thanks Kathryn Creedy for this much needed article and creating awareness. In my experience reaching out to school counselors and principals is a challenge. While some welcome new ideas and in this case industries, others fall back on what is familiar to them, thus preventing valuable information from reaching kids. Hopefully we will continue working toward exposing more children to aviation and aerospace.
AeroCareers.net - Aviation needs more than just pilots.
Let’s connect further. I have some ideas!
Until there is adequate incentive there will be inadequate numbers of people in Aviation.
The aviation & aerospace sector is a rich hunting ground for us for superb talent indeed Kathryn. Clients in the renewable energy sector (in particular onshore and offshore wind developers etc) have a keen interest in filling their talent pools with qualified folks from aerospace.
Thanks for the quote. Important topic your article will help educate educators and av and aero people.
