The talent pipeline remains critical—and more challenging than ever—across global supply chains. In manufacturing alone, the U.S. will need 3.8M workers by 2033, while global data points to 10M unfilled jobs today. Join hosts Scott W. Luton and Allison Giddens and special guests Dr. Becky Lutte with Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Suzanne Markle with the Pittsburgh Institute of Aeronautics, and Ryan Goertzen with AAR for a focused conversation on workforce development in aviation—a $3.5T global industry. We’ll explore proven strategies for expanding the talent pool, creating more inclusive opportunities, and addressing urgent hiring needs. Women currently represent less than 20% of aviation roles and just 3% of maintenance techs. How can we change that—and what can other sectors learn from these efforts? Walk away with practical insights to fuel workforce development in any industry.
