Love aviation? Passionate about helping kids?

Shape the future of aviation and make a difference in kids’ lives. Become a STEM Aviation and Space Education Program (AVSED) Outreach Representative to inspire the next generation of aviation professionals.

The aviation industry is facing a critical shortfall of qualified professionals to fill positions as pilots, aviation mechanics, and unmanned aerial systems operators. We are competing for engineering, programming, and data analytics talent with other, high-paying industries. It’s important that we act now to ensure we have the talent we need in aviation positions in the future.

As an aviation professional, you can inspire and motivate youth to seek out careers in aviation. Passion is contagious. By sharing with kids what matters to you, you can help them catch the aviation bug.

As an Outreach Representative, you will conduct STEM- related activities, projects, events, and programs to inform elementary through high school students about jobs available in the aerospace industry and the education needed to get those jobs. Outreach events can be accomplished during work hours, when feasible. For activities occurring outside working hours, compensatory time or credit hours may be approved in advance.

It’s easy... all you need to do is Enroll, Engage, and Report.
