TRAINING

For example, women currently make up
just over 2 percent of the approximately
286,000 certificated airframe and power
plant mechanics in the U.S. In addition, of
the approximately 609,300 pilots in the
nation, only 7.01 percent are women. Organizations such as the non-profit Women in
Aviation International are dedicated to the
encouragement and advancement of women
in all aviation career fields and interests.
To address the workforce shortage, airport businesses must take a leadership
role in advocating for federal funding,
establishing scholarships and mentoring

future pilots and technicians. There is also
significant opportunity to attract more
female candidates to address the looming
labor shortage.

programs, providing training and apprenticeship opportunities, and attracting and
retaining a diverse workforce. Reaching a
diverse and new audience of future pilots,
aviation technicians and other aviation
professionals requires a collaborative effort
among schools, local government entities,
businesses, trade associations and labor
organizations.
Ultimately, these efforts must happen
to secure America's global leadership in
the aviation and aerospace sectors, fuel
the national economy and maintain the
efficiency of the U.S. airspace system.
