Helps Women Find Jobs Within Aviation and Aerospace
More
than 115 exhibitors and 1,800 members of Women in Aviation
International (WAI) are arriving in the Queen City (Cincinnati, OH)
March 20-22 at the Cincinnati Convention Center for the 14th Annual
International Women in Aviation Conference. Attendees will build
and explore their networks with professionals within aviation and
aerospace industries, as well as land jobs in their respective
fields.
Dr. Peggy Chabrian, WAI President, said, "We have an all-time
record number of corporate flight departments, military, airlines,
manufacturers, aviation organizations, publishers, colleges and
universities, artists and authors lining up for booth space this
year."
"Even
in these tough times," she said, "there are several companies
looking for new employees…including airlines." The WAI
Conference has proven to be one of the best locations for women
seeking jobs or career changes within an airline or aerospace
manufacturer, according to the association. The International Women
in Aviation Conference is geared toward the specific needs of women
pursuing careers in all aspects of aviation and aerospace, from
engineers, pilots, mechanics and managers to flight attendants and
teachers.
Women, four percent of America's licensed pilots, make up only
two percent of the airline pilots in the U.S. and less than one
percent of the aircraft mechanics. In addition, 11 percent of
engineers are women, as are 20 percent of astronauts.
