EAA And Fltops.com Hosting Career Conference
Future professional pilots or those considering another career
in aviation can join EAA in the "Focus On The Future" session held
in conjunction with the FltOps.com Global Pilot Career Conference
and Job Fair on Saturday, August 28, in Atlanta. This free session
will be held at 1230 during the day-long job fair, which runs
0830 to 1700 at the Atlanta Airport Marriott Gateway.
FltOps.com, an online information service for aspiring and
professional pilots, hosts "Focus On The Future" sessions
throughout the country that are designed for budding professionals,
parents, and career counselors. With thousands of airline pilots
facing mandatory retirement in the coming years, the future job
market for professional pilots - including airline pilots - looks
very strong.
High school and college-age students considering a career in
aviation can meet with representatives from the top schools in the
United States as well as learn about the projected need for new
pilots, other careers available in aviation, financing flight
training and education, and developing a rational career plan.
Barry Elk, EAA director of membership marketing, will be on hand to
answer questions about the EAA Young Eagles program as well as
EAA's new Student Membership, which is supported by Embry-Riddle
Aeronautical University. Embry-Riddle will also be a participant in
the "Focus On The Future" session in Atlanta.
"The 'Focus On The Future' session will provide answers to
prospective pilots as they set off on the career path leading them
toward the sky," Elk said. "There is unlimited career potential
within the aviation industry, and through the Young Eagles program
and the EAA Flight Plan we are working to continue that initial
curiosity into a promising future for the next generation of
aviators."
