Addressing Workforce Gaps at Pioneers of Tomorrow

Pioneers of Tomorrow aims to address the talent pipeline issues facing the industry by inspiring the younger generation to explore careers in aerospace. Taking place on the last day of FIA2024, this event will serve as a catalyst for igniting passion for aerospace in future leaders of tomorrow.

The aerospace industry is a highly sought-after career amongst potential newcomers, ranking as the number one desired sector among engineering students (AGP Industry of Choice report, 2024).
