Raises Awareness About Aviation Careers For High School Students In Canada

Air Georgian's SOAR program for aviation career awareness, recruitment and retention continues to grow with the addition of Mitchinson Flight Center to their flight school program. The partnership provides a career pathway for instructors at Mitchinson to become First Officers with Air Georgian, giving them an entryway into the Air Canada network.

"Mitchinson Flight Center is excited to enter into this partnership with Air Georgian. We believe the SOAR program is keenly needed in the industry and allows pilots to pursue a clear pathway for their career," said Dan Glass, President of Mitchinson Flight Center. "This is an amazing opportunity for our instructors," added Reed Willison, Chief Flight Instructor. "We look forward to our instructors joining SOAR and expanding their horizons."

SOAR (Sharing Opportunities for Advancement and Reward) is comprised of three initiatives:

• Raising awareness of careers in aviation for high school students
• Working with flight schools and 703/704 operators to recruit pilots into Air Georgian, and;
• Providing career fulfillment and advancement opportunities for all employees

SOAR provides partners with managed attrition and gives their employees and students visibility regarding career progression with an entry point to the Air Canada system.
