Training and Workforce
NBAA undergraduate internships and scholarships help mint a new generation of aviators and support personnel
The association offers nearly $100,000 in scholarships, monetary and professional training awards each year.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) predicted that between 2010 and 2020 non-airline commercial aviation, what we would define as business aviation, is expected to need to grow its workforce by upwards of 20 percent. Halfway through the decade the predictions are beginning to pan out, as general aviation (which includes the business aviation segment) pulls itself steadily out of the doldrums of the past recession.

New airplanes are being delivered, businesses are re-discovering the value of business aviation and flight departments are seeing new life. The problem is that the jobs being created are beginning to be more difficult to fill with qualified personnel.
