Did you know that women make up just 6.4% of the global aviation industry? This statistic reflects the incredible journey we still have to ensure gender diversity and inclusion within the sector. I am a proud member of Women in Aviation, a global organization dedicated to the encouragement and advancement of women in all aviation career fields and interests. Our mission is not just about celebrating achievements; it's about breaking down barriers and opening doors for future generations. My aviation journey was fueled by a childhood dream to become a fast jet pilot. Despite being told repeatedly by teachers that this wasn't a career for a young lady, my stubbornness pushed me to pass the entrance exams to become a pilot with the British military. However, due to personal medical reasons, I discovered that I couldn't pursue a career as a fighter pilot. At that point, the idea of becoming a commercial pilot seemed distant, as I had never encountered a female first officer or captain. To this day, I have yet to fly with a female colleague on the flight deck. It's an honour and a privilege to work for Padpilot, where 50% of our talented workforce are women. This is more than just a statistic; it's a statement of our commitment to change. At Padpilot, we're not just educating the next generation of pilots; we're helping to shape a more inclusive and diverse future for aviation, where anyone, regardless of their background, can achieve their dreams. Let's continue to support and inspire one another, and work towards a future where gender diversity in aviation is not an anomaly but a norm. #Padpilot #DiversityinAviation #InspiringTheNextGeneration #WomeninAviationDay2024

BE INSPIRED Join #TeamAirbus in Los Angeles, CA October 26-28, 2023 at #sWE23 organized by the Society of Women Engineers to meet with our recruiters and ambassadors, to discover stand alone career development opportunities, and most of all, a chance to change bias and inspire generations of women! The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) is the world's largest advocate and catalyst for change for women in engineering and technology. Historically, men have dominated the aerospace industry - yet each generation of women successfully reduce the barriers, opening the field to more of their gender, accessing previously unavailable careers and gaining recognition for their contributions. More are joining the industry every year and Airbus is passionate and at the forefront of advancing women in the workplace and developing female talent, helping to redefine the future of aerospace within the company and across the industry through partnerships and other initiatives. #We23 #inclusiveworkplaces #aerospace #womenengineers #womeninaviation #inclusionanddiversity #womenempowerment #teamairbus #societyofwomenengineers

A great article describing careers of six women. What I personally like about such career stories is that they describe real people and inspire others. #InternationalWomenInEngineeringDay #Women #Technology #PanasonicConnect #Panasonic #CareerDevelopment

Today, a photo on my phone reminded me why I'm such a big advocate for DE&I (Diversity, Equity & Inclusivity). 7 years ago today, my team won the first Airbus Defence and Space New Space Challenge. 🚀 During the competition kick-off event, it was pointed out that I was the only female and non-engineer taking part, but that didn't stop me. I knew my different background would give me diverse ways of thinking and carry me through to developing the correct solutions. 👩🏽💻 Not only did my team win, but I went on to win the UK Space Agency SatelLife competition on my own later that year. 🎊 𝐌𝐲 𝐛𝐢𝐠𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞?

As International Women's Day approaches (Friday 8th March) 👯♀️, I'm reminded how important it is to share stories like these, no matter how small it may feel. I always celebrate the day with activities to encourage other women & girls to breakdown stereotypes, and breakthrough into STEM (conferences, hackathons, keynotes, mentorship programs, etc). 🔭 👩🏽🔬 This year, I'm looking for like-minded individuals who want to work together and commemorate International Women's Day. Let's connect! #WomeninTech #WomeninSTEM #IWD2024

Words by Sebastian Kerridge, Talent Intelligence Lead at Strativ Group –/ Here at Strativ, we always strive to deliver diverse shortlists to our clients, and between April 2022 and April 2023, 24 per cent of our aerospace placements have been females; focused primarily on technical and engineering roles. This is a statistic we’re proud of as less than 10 per cent of the engineering workforce in the aerospace sector are female. In this article, we have highlighted four key opportunities that organisations can use to enhance gender diversity in their recruitment lifecycle. Partner with education to encourage participation In a recent report on women in Aviation / Aerospace (WIAA, 2022), it was highlighted that 46% of females become interested in the industry before they have left school. This outlines the huge potential for building a brighter future for women in aviation, but work needs to start early to lay the foundations. If organisations take action by inspiring early through partnering with educational institutions and providing events such as workshops, guest speakers, and competitions, introducing role models and mentors to younger demographics, the likelihood of achieving more females joining the industry can only move in a positive direction. In a recent “Female Influencers” podcast with Strativ Group a female leader in the eVTOL industry said, “having a mentor helped me understand myself better and the world around me better.” We need to ensure that role models and mentors are made visible and available to everyone and starting this during early education is likely to have the highest impact. In the same 2022 WIAA report it showed that beyond the role of flight attendants, female representation across all roles increased, on average, by less than 1% (0.95) between 2005 and 2020. “I have often found myself the only female in the room” said Stephanie Duffy, Director of Enterprise Technology Integration at Boeing. This only emphasises the challenges the industry is facing in creating a diverse workforce long-term and the lasting impact of having a male dominated industry with minimal signs of change on the horizon.
