Thursday, November 14, 2024:12:00 PM - 12:45 PM

Description

In the face of fierce competition for talent from sectors like mining, energy or construction, this session will explore how the aviation industry can attract and retain the new generation of workers. What strategies can be employed to reposition the benefits of working in aviation to capture the interest of the younger generation? What is the experience of new hires in the aviation industry, and how do they compare to their more experienced colleagues? How can we increase understanding of career pathways and progression opportunities for new workers in aviation? Are AMT schools adequately preparing the workforce for real-life challenges, and is the curriculum up to date with industry needs? What role can mentorship play in solving the workforce shortage, and how can industry associations contribute to this effort? How can we effectively instill knowledge in the younger generation to combat the juniority challenge? To what extent does technology impact or aid the transition of knowledge from experienced workers to new hires?
