NBAA’s BAMC to Focus on Workforce Issues in 2019

In 2019, NBAA’s Business Aviation Management Committee (BAMC) will focus on a variety of initiatives including workforce retention, training and educational outreach. “We know that we need to start them [students] early, and we have to plant the seed of getting them excited at the high school level, but at the end of the day we want them to come through a college program by which they will be able to have a four-year degree and be able to come out with the ability to work in the industry,” said outgoing BAMC chair Jad Donaldson. BAMC leaders talk about the focus for 2019 in this week’s NBAA Flight Plan podcast.
