Aerospace is Doubling - Have You Considered How Your Skills Could Power It?

Wed, Feb 11 · 12:00 PM HST

Online

Discover the technical and human skills needed to prepare for and excel in aerospace roles.

Join an exciting fireside chat exploring how technology, systems thinking, and leadership skills power commercial and defense aviation and how women in tech can prepare for high impact roles shaping the future.

As aerospace demand accelerates, the number of airplanes in our skies is forecast to nearly double over the next 20 years and the need for talent is growing just as fast. The next wave of aerospace growth is not only about aircraft. It is about the people and technology required to design, operate, secure, maintain, and sustain them.

This fireside chat explores the roles most needed in aerospace over the next 5 to 10 years, from mechanics, pilots, and engineers to supply chain and procurement leaders, cybersecurity professionals, software and systems engineers, and data and AI specialists. As aerospace becomes more digital, connected, and data driven, tech and human skills are becoming mission critical across both commercial and defense sectors.

Join Jennifer Radtke, Executive Director and Functional Chief Engineer at Boeing and Boeing’s first female Chief Mechanic, for an engaging and honest conversation about how aerospace careers are evolving. With 30 years spanning hands on maintenance, systems engineering, and executive leadership, Jennifer brings a rare end to end perspective on what it really takes to thrive as the industry scales.

Together, we will unpack the technical skills in demand like software, data, cybersecurity, and systems engineering alongside the human skills that make the difference including communication, collaboration, judgment, and leadership.

If you are curious about aerospace, exploring your next career move, or wondering how your tech skills can create impact in a fast growing industry, this conversation is for you.
