As workforce concerns continue to be front-and-center in business aviation, three young professionals (YoPros) share how they discovered their career pathways and offer advice and encouragement to others looking to enter and advance in the industry. “The first job, and looking for ways to get involved, [can be] very hard,” said NBAA Young Professionals (YoPro) Council member Kenny Mazingo. “It’s scary. But you come to find out there’s a lot of good people, a lot of opportunities and so many resources in our industry. And believe it or not, people are willing to help.”
