Abstract:

The focus of this report is on current practices for attracting high school and community college students to careers in aviation. Similar to what many industries are seeing, the aviation industry is experiencing a labor shortage due, in large part, to the increasing retirement rates of the baby boomer generation. To combat this decrease in the size of its workforce and to ensure that many critical positions are filled in the future, the aviation industry is pursuing partnerships to attract future workers to the many different types of jobs in the aviation industry. This study is based on information acquired through a literature review and survey results from 59 high schools and 61 community colleges from a range of geographic locations. Results of the literature review and survey are presented in this report. Case examples representing different types of existing aviation education programs and partnerships based on interviews are presented in Chapter 5 of the report
