How Events Like the AMC Can Help
Attract the Next Generation of
FEMALE TECHNICIANS
M
any people are looking
forward to competing
in the Aerospace Maintenance
Competition
(AMC) Presented by
Snap-on, but perhaps
no one is more excited
than Elena Gonzalez.
Two years ago, she organized a team
of all female technicians from American
Airlines to compete against the industry's
best aircraft techs, but the event in 2020,
and subsequently in 2021, fell victim to the
COVID-19 pandemic and was canceled. It's
back this year though, and so is Gonzalez.
Her team, aptly named WIT (Women in
Tech) is joining several other female-only
teams contending in the AMC April 25-27
in Dallas, Texas.
" I've been to the AMC, but this will be
my first time competing, " said the Miamibased
technician. " Above and beyond the
competition, being able to meet and connect
with other women in the industry is
something that's just so valuable to all of
us. It's going to be great. "
The
Aerospace
Ma intenance
Competition Presented by Snap-on coincides
with the annual MRO Americas show.
The event provides a venue for professional
and military technicians, and students to
come together and test their skills against
each other in 25 aviation-related events,
while also developing a strong sense of
camaraderie over two days of friendly
competition. Teams compete to see who's
best in six divisions: Commercial Aviation,
ADVANCED
DE-ICING.
UNMATCHED
EXPERTISE.

safer and more efficient operations.

General Aviation, Space, School, Military
and MRO/OEM.
Inspiring women
WIT will be one of a handful of teams at
the AMC with rosters comprised only of
women. While the opportunity to compete
is motivating in itself, many are more eager
to serve as inspiration to other women that
this is a viable, great career choice for them
to consider.
" It's difficult to recruit females; this isn't
something that is typically advertised for
women, " said Katrina Oyer, part of United
