K12 Aviation Solutions

Bringing Aviation into the classroom is the best way to introduce students to the many lucrative careers in aviation/aerospace while increasing student engagement.  Why should students be introduced to the aviation/aerospace industry at all?  According to Boeing's Pilot and Technician Outlook, there will be a need for over 610,000 technicians, 602,000 pilots, and 899,000 Cabin Crew worldwide within the next 20 years.  This does not account for all the other careers needed in aviation/aerospace like Air Traffic Controllers, Engineers, Drone Operators, and programmers.  In fact, there are very few careers that can not be included within the aviation or aerospace industry.  The bottom line is that if we do not garner the imagination and capture our students at the K12 level, they may never come to the realization of how they can be a part of this exciting worldwide industry.  When interviewed about the need for Aircraft Technicians, ATEC added, "...you have to reach them in middle school to spur their interest, because most people these days are choosing their career paths before they get to high school.”  Here at Aviation Matters Education Consulting, LLC, we want to help you design and implement the right aviation program for your school.  We develop individualized school plans that can help maximize your funding in the classroom to bring aviation to life, as well as professional development, and a different perspective to bring aviation/aerospace into the classroom.  There are many K12 programs available to choose from, but finding the right one for your school can be confusing, burdensome, and could result in wasted resources and opportunities.  Whether a district wide program is needed or just a single school, we can help you prepare your students for an exciting future in aviation/aerospace.
