Duncan Aviation to Organize Aviation Career Day 2008
August 13, 2008
LINCOLN, NEB. — On October 17, about 600 juniors and seniors from high schools in Nebraska will be exposed to the many exciting and satisfying career opportunities in the aviation industry. Adjust Your Altitude 2008 is an aviation career fair. It’s open to exhibitors from across the nation representing the aviation community. The career fair is being organized by team members from Duncan Aviation, the Strategic Air & Space and Museum, and Lincoln and Omaha Public Schools.
“With the predicted technician shortage and a general decline in interest in aviation with high school and college graduates, this aviation career day is being organized as a long-term effort to reverse this trend,” says Rich Baeder, Manager of Government & OEM Programs at Duncan Aviation. “Our goal is to educate students about all of the unique career opportunities in aviation and pique their interest in our industry.”
Participation is expected from colleges/universities, aircraft manufacturing and service companies, airlines, aviation media, government agencies and military organizations.
The event will be held Friday, October 17, at the Strategic Air & Space Museum between Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska. Roughly 600 students will be bussed to the career fair from the schools. For more information, visit www.aviationcareerday.net.
