âDeveloped by a team of industry representatives who acknowledge the path to a career in aerospace can take many forms, this workforce initiative strives to provide clear and simple information for those who aspire to reach a higher altitude,â said AEA president and CEO Mike Adamson. âBusiness owners, aircraft technicians, pilots, engineers, marketers, and manufacturers all joined the effort to sharpen the focus on opportunities in aerospace and make the path to success easier to navigate.â

The online resource also includes a showcase featuring industry professionals who work in various segments of the industry. Each individual offers advice and outlines his or her personal career path to help inspire the next generation of aerospace professionals.
