Many segments in our industry are facing serious staff shortages. Whilst the growth of aviation & aerospace can only be successful if we feed the talent pipeline and, in parallel, retain people in our sector. Women are traditionally at risk of leaving the aviation sector, as studies have clearly shown. How can organisations and companies support achieving a diverse, equal, and inclusive working culture? How can NGOs like IAWA support women to invest in themselves? How to make aviation and aerospace attractive to get the smartest talents engaged?
