AIAA Releases Report On Building And Retaining Aerospace
Workforce
The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA)
has released a report on strategies to strengthen the current and
future aerospace workforce. Based on AIAA's May 2009 "Inside
Aerospace Forum" for aviation and space leaders from around the
world, the report notes the issues posed by an aging aerospace
workforce, and sets out strategies to retain current aerospace
professionals and to build the aerospace workforce of the
future.
AIAA President Dave Thompson states "The 2009 Inside Aerospace
Forum Report and Recommendations is a 'must read' publication for
all those who are interested in continuing to strengthen the
aerospace workforce and who are committed to a strong future for
the global aerospace industry. The report identifies key areas
where action must be taken, and offers effective and practical
solutions that can be implemented across all strata of the
community to ensure that aerospace remains a strong, vibrant sector
of the world economy."
Topics explored by the report include:
The effect of the educational and social environment on the
workforce and the changes that must be made to retain the current
workforce.
Obstacles and solutions in employee recruitment and retention,
and how employers must implement immediate solutions to stem the
decline in the workforce.
Increasing the exposure of aerospace to the general public to
inspire students to become a part of the next generation of
aerospace.
Increasing gender and racial diversity in the aerospace
workforce.
The report critically examines the role that the entire
aerospace community must play in strengthening the current
workforce and in inspiring the next generation of aerospace
engineers. It stresses that developing solutions to the current
challenges of retention and inspiration are the responsibility of
all members of the aerospace community - from corporate human
resources offices and senior management to individual engineers and
scientists - and must involve educators and other interested
professionals to ensure success. It is available for download
online.
