摘要: A workforce of trained, skilled professionals is essential to the health and growth of the aviation industry. In addition to the labor needs of the nations air carriers and air traffic control workforce, thousands of the nations airports and hundreds of aviation companies are in need of a wide range of talent to perform a wide variety of functions, from fundamental operations tasks to filling higher-level strategic management roles. Furthermore, local, state, and federal agencies, as well as aviation planning, engineering, and management consulting firms require a workforce that is both technically educated and experienced in the operation of the nations aviation system. Despite this need, many in the industry are finding it difficult to hire and develop workforce talent with the education and skills to help advance the industry. This difficulty is the motivation for this synthesis study. The purpose of this synthesis has been to collect information and report on airport operating entity jobs and related skill sets needed to perform those jobs. The synthesis also identifies opportunities and resources that provide training on the skill sets needed to fulfill airport-related jobs. Furthermore, gaps between skill sets and educational and advancement opportunities are documented. This synthesis is intended for managers of airports and other aviation industry organizations that wish to gain insight into the workforce development needs, opportunities, and resources available to the industry. This synthesis specifically excludes the commercial air carrier industry workforce as well as civil aviation flight crew professions (pilots, flight attendants, and dispatchers). In addition, this synthesis does not specifically describe the need for further developing the air traffic management workforce. Rather, this synthesis pays particular attention to the workforce that operates and supports the civil aviation infrastructure, with particular focus on airport and aviation system operations and planning, ground support professions, and technical and management positions found in government entities from the local to the national level. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
