We’re Hiring! Strategies for Building the Workforce Pipeline

  • Tuesday, April 26, 2022:3:15 PM - 4:00 PM
  • Session Number: 111

Description

Nowhere is the global talent shortage for aircraft mechanics more apparent than in North America. Already looming pre-pandemic, and exacerbated by the industry downturn in 2020, the lack of aviation maintenance technicians is impacting operations across the board as demand for air travel rebounds at record pace. With low unemployment rates, shifting demographics, a low output of students with technical skills training, and competition from other industries, the MRO industry must act quickly and strategically to rebuild the workforce. This session will highlight strategies and best practices for MRO workforce recruitment including partnership and internship programs, DEI initiatives, leveraging emerging technologies, and building a culture and benefits that attract qualified young people. If you’re hiring, you don’t want to miss this!
