= Strategy: Expand Career Opportunities for Aeronautics Majors and Awareness of Aviation (Fall 17) = == <span style="font-family: Arial~~; color: rgb(0, 0, 0)~~; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Tactic 1:Extended Aeronautics Career Fair ==

<li~~><ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li><span style="font-size: 11pt~~; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline~~; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">The Aeronautics Career Fair should be turned into a full day event. During this time, representatives from each business could speak more about their recruiting and hiring process. For example, what they look for in a candidate, how they can stand out, what organizations and activities help prepare the applicant, and how to look good on a resume. Students could ask questions as well. Corporations could also hold mock interviews so students have an idea of the questions they will be asked and how to respond properly. The mock interviews could be done by new hires who are familiar with the position our students are in at this point, and could almost act as mentors to prospective individuals.</span~~></li></ul></li>

<li~~><ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li><span style="font-size: 11pt; ~~background~~white-~~color~~space: ~~transparent; font~~pre-~~variant-ligatures: normal~~wrap; ~~font~~background-~~variant-east-asian~~color: ~~normal~~transparent; ~~font-variant-position: normal; vertical~~text-align: ~~baseline; white-space: pre-wrap~~justify;">There need to be more programs geared towards younger generations to generate interest early on.  There are a few existing programs at Kent State, but only cater to pilots.  Aviation includes air traffic control, aerospace engineering, dispatch, airport management, propulsion studies, and many other subjects.  Exposing these opportunities to kids will create more jobs in aviation.</span~~></li></ul></li>

<li~~><ul style="margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><li><span style="font-size: 11pt~~; background-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-position: normal; vertical-align: baseline~~; white-space: pre-wrap; background-color: transparent;">Many regional airlines invest in the KSU flight program and are eager to participate in events such as the Aeronautics Career Fair. This is because airlines are desperate for pilots at this time, and are seeking out college students who are close to getting their minimum hours.  By creating more internship opportunities for students, ones that are more flexible in scheduling and are geared towards a learning and networking experience, those individuals will be more apt to apply to that airline.  Internships would also help better prepare pilots for being a part of a professional aviation environment, and not just the flying aspect.  </span~~></li></ul></li>
