Students Ages 12 And Older Will Have A Chance To Learn About BizAv Careers
The NBAA will once again host Careers in Business Aviation Day on Oct. 23 during NBAA’s Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA2014), the business aviation industry’s largest annual event, and one of the biggest trade shows in the country. The dedicated career day, held at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL, will feature education sessions and tours, and is open to middle school, high school and college students across the U.S. who are interested in exploring career opportunities in the business aviation industry.
Students will have the opportunity to visit more than 1,000 exhibits with NBAA volunteers, as well as engage with the expected 25,000 attendees representing the spectrum of business aviation’s diverse opportunities, from flight department personnel and aircraft manufacturers, to flight crews and the many businesses that serve the business aviation community. College and university students also will learn more about career opportunities and receive advice from university representatives and aviation professionals in an informal roundtable setting.
Several keynote speakers will welcome students to Orlando, including Paul Rinaldi, president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) and Brad Hayden, president and CEO of Robotic Skies and a leading expert on unmanned aircraft systems. Access to the 2014 Career Day is free for all registered students and faculty. Students attending University Aviation Association-affiliated colleges and universities also qualify for complimentary access to all three days of NBAA2014.
More than 200 students are expected to attend Careers in Business Aviation Day, including those from high schools in the Orlando area, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, University of Central Florida, University of Florida, University of North Dakota, Florida Technical College and many more.
