2021 Inspire Silent Auction

Join us by supporting this years Inspire fundraiser in support of Elevate Aviation!

Funds raised will be used to launch our brand-new program at the Elevate Aviation Learning Centre; an 18-week course for women who are low-income, unemployed, or escaping domestic violence.

The program will provide career readiness training, employability training, and specific occupational skills training for the aviation industry. They will receive on-the-job training and be placed with partnering companies for employment opportunities upon completion. We are aiming for this program to be completely free of charge to remove financial barriers that often hinder opportunities for women.

Elevate Aviation began with a passion to help women become strong, independent and self-sustainable. Women are vastly underrepresented in the aviation and aerospace sectors and Elevate Aviation was created to close the gender gap. Below is just a small sampling of the statistics we wish to change:

- Women make up only 6% of private pilots in Canada
- Fewer than 5% of all airline transport pilot license holders are female
- Female mechanics make up under 2% of mechanics worldwide
- Only 11% of aerospace engineers are women
- Women hold only 16% of jobs as Air Traffic Controllers in Canada
- Less than 19% of the Royal Canadian Air Force are women

Elevate Aviation's goal is to create a shift in the aviation industry that promotes gender balance by connecting women with a network of support. We encourage women to pursue careers in the aviation industry and provide support to those who dream of a career in aviation. Elevate Aviation amplifies women's voices that are already in the field and provides a platform for women to thrive and succeed. By partnering with other industry professionals and organizations, we are creating a disruption in the current climate and seeing amazing results.

Elevate Aviation has several programs in place to assist women in becoming successful in the challenging and rewarding aviation industry:

- The Elevate Aviation Learning Centre
- Mentorship Program
- Cross Country Tour
- Speakers
- Bursaries
- Inspire
