YPAC Webinar: Mind the Gap: Attracting, Growing, and Learning from Every Generation in Aviation

The Young Professionals Aviation Coalition (YPAC) will host a virtual, industry-wide conversation on navigating a truly five-generation aviation workforce. This session will explore how airports and aviation organizations can attract and engage the next generation, while also “downloading” the knowledge, experience, and lessons learned from more seasoned professionals. Featuring voices from multiple generations, the program will highlight early-career mistakes and growth moments, strategies to avoid gatekeeping institutional knowledge, and practical ideas for fostering innovation across age groups. Attendees will then join mixed-generation breakout discussions to compare perspectives and share concrete takeaways they can bring back to their own organizations.
