NEXTGEN Aviators

for Industry Partners

Solving the Industry workforce shortage.

This problem does not belong to one company or business sector. Each company feels the pressure and knows they need a solution before the problem becomes a crisis. Better recruiting tactics, higher pay, and more elaborate benefits are not the answer for a shrinking workforce. This problem requires a collaboration of the highest magnitude. Senior industry leaders need to band together around a visionary plan to inspire the next generation. Introducing them to the excitement and career opportunities in aviation, trades, manufacturing, logistics and STEM will allow our economy to survive and thrive for years to come.

“In the Air National Guard, you not only serve your country, but also the community you call home when it needs the skills and resources that only the Guard can provide.

Inform the community of your purpose and vision.

Does the community know why you exist? Do they understand why your company is in business? Do they know you’re not just in business; that you’re on a mission? This mission has a purpose and vision. Your community needs to know and value you. You need effective public relations to help your business grow and survive the storms you will face.

Access to the future workforce.

The key to recruiting is relationships. NEXTGEN Aviators helps you start building those relationships early – before young people have decided who they’re going to be and have eliminated your industry from consideration. Engage 600-1200 middle and high school students from your local community and show them why they should consider your company, career, or industry..

Engaged teammates are your greatest asset.

If you want a business that thrives instead of just survives, you need engaged employees. Making them feel special with exclusive opportunities is one way to create that engagement and loyalty. Give your team and their families an extremely unique aviation experience and know that you are doing something that sets you apart from your competitors, in both company culture and bottomline.
