WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT

aviation technician and pilot education
grant programs. This is half the amount
approved in the FAA reauthorization law of
2018, which requires funding through the
annual appropriation process. While the
House Appropriations Committee voted to
recommend a full $10 million in funding last
June, Congress must approve a final version
of the Transportation Housing and Urban
Development bill before it can be signed into
law by the president.
A coordinated effort across the global
aviation industry is needed to create effective workforce development programs and
direct pathways to a wide range of professional and technical careers. Workforce
diversity is not only a business trend, but
attracts top talent and offers companies
a competitive advantage. As several hundred thousand pilots and technicians reach
retirement age over the next decade, innovative solutions are needed to inspire and
recruit the next generation of aviation
professionals.

Many air carriers, and even airborne law
enforcement agencies such as U.S. Customs
and Border Protection, have forged successful partnerships with top universities
to train and recruit future pilots. The business aviation industry must adopt a similar
model to coach, mentor and empower students interested in full-time aviation careers.
To date, more than 40 leading aviation
organizations have endorsed full funding of
the two workforce development grant programs backed by the House and Senate. To
meet growing demand for aviation employees, these initiatives call for developing high
school aviation science, technology, engineering and math curriculum, as well as supporting aviation maintenance technician training.
For example, the program for technicians
supports a wide range of recruitment and
training activities. Intended to incentivize
collaboration between key stakeholders,
grant applications must be jointly submitted by a business, union, school or state/
local governmental entity.

According to ARSA, grants may be used to:
* Establish new educational programs
that teach technical skills used in aviation maintenance, including purchasing
equipment, or to improve existing such
programs
* Establish scholarships or apprenticeships
for individuals pursuing employment in
the aviation maintenance industry
* Support outreach about careers in the
aviation maintenance industry to primary, secondary and post-secondary
school students; or to communities
underrepresented in the industry
* Support educational opportunities related to aviation maintenance in economically disadvantaged geographic areas
* Support transition to careers in aviation
maintenance, including for members of
the Armed Forces
* Enhance aviation maintenance technical education or the industry workforce
The grant program for pilots also supports the creation and delivery of curriculum
