Aviation Workforce Development Practices

---

A workforce of trained, skilled professionals is essential to the health and growth of the aviation industry. In addition to the labor needs of the nation’s air carriers and air traffic control workforce, thousands of the nation’s airports and hundreds of aviation companies are in need of a wide range of talent to perform a wide variety of functions, from fundamental operations tasks to filling higher-level strategic management roles. Furthermore, local, state, and federal agencies, as well as aviation planning, engineering, and management consulting firms require a workforce that is both technically educated and experienced in the operation of the nation’s aviation system.
Despite this need, many in the industry are finding it difficult to hire and develop work- force talent with the education and skills to help advance the industry. This difficulty is the motivation for this synthesis study.
The purpose of this synthesis has been to collect information and report on airport operat- ing entity jobs and related skill sets needed to perform those jobs. The synthesis also identifies opportunities and resources that provide training on the skill sets needed to fulfill airport-related jobs. Furthermore, gaps between skill sets and educational and advancement opportunities are documented.
