Talking Points:

Difficult though it may be for those in the aerospace industry to comprehend it, there is a real problem generating sufficient interest in aviation careers to meet the demand for highly skilled jobs like engineers, pilots, and air traffic controllers.

Not only is this driven by its ever-changing demands and the new generations that are entering the workforce, but it also means that we will see a change in our talent landscape and how we continue to keep our employees engaged.

Stay interviews.
Diversity, Equity, inclusion, and belonging.
