Resources and Talent for Aviation Employers
At Pathways to Aviation, our goal is to inform, inspire, and actively engage aviation’s next generation of workers. The industry is at a pivotal moment, with experienced pilots retiring, private aircraft ownership evolving, and employers working harder than ever to attract and retain skilled talent. That’s why we proudly partner with aviation employers to connect motivated young people with real career opportunities—and support them every step of the way toward long-term success.
The aviation workforce challenge goes far beyond the cockpit. From line service technicians and maintenance professionals to mechanics, engineers, and operations staff, employers across the industry are seeking passionate, job-ready candidates. At Pathways to Aviation, we shine a spotlight on the wide range of careers available and help students turn early interest into meaningful opportunity. Through scholarships, engaging educational events, hands-on workshops, and career exploration experiences, students gain a clear picture of what aviation careers look like and how to prepare for them. By partnering with us, employers can tap into this early excitement and begin building relationships with future candidates long before hiring begins.
Find New Hires
We know there’s no one-size-fits-all path into aviation—and that’s a strength of the industry.
By working closely with employers, we support multiple entry points into the workforce. Apprenticeship programs allow students to earn while they learn, gaining valuable hands-on experience from seasoned professionals. Entry-level roles offer another powerful starting point, helping young people build confidence, skills, and momentum within an organization. We also support students pursuing academic or technical degrees and industry certifications, connecting them with aviation and aerospace employers looking for job-ready talent.
Mentorships and Training
Our impact doesn’t end with recruitment—it grows through retention and career development. When employers partner with us to offer mentorship, training, and clear pathways for advancement, new hires feel supported and invested in from day one.
These relationships help employees grow into their roles, reduce turnover, and create a stronger, more committed workforce. The result is a lasting benefit for both individuals and the aviation industry as a whole.
Working Together for a High-Flying Future
Collaboration fuels everything we do. By working alongside aviation employers, we gain valuable insight into workforce needs, skills gaps, and long-term goals. With support from employer sponsors, we design targeted events and programs that align student interests with real-world demand. Whether launching a new apprenticeship pipeline or connecting employers with emerging talent, our shared goal is a more effective and sustainable workforce.
Together, we are shaping a stronger, more inclusive future for aviation. When you partner with Pathways to Aviation, you help inspire the next generation, open doors to rewarding careers, and ensure the industry has the skilled talent it needs to soar for decades to come.
