We are proud to announce that the comprehensive report “Occupations and Qualifications Generated by Digitalization and Sustainable Development in Aviation Industry” has been officially published on GAAST (Global Aviation and Aerospace Skills Task Force), the international platform dedicated to aviation workforce development.
What This Means
This publication represents a significant recognition of the AVIONIC project’s work and its contribution to the global aviation community. By being featured on GAAST, our research now reaches a worldwide audience of aviation stakeholders, including universities, industry leaders, policymakers, and training organizations across the globe.
About the Report
Developed through the AVIONIC Erasmus+ initiative, this report presents a comprehensive analysis of how digitalization and sustainability are reshaping occupations and skills requirements in the aviation sector. The research documents:
- Emerging job profiles and new occupations in aviation
- Critical skills gaps and future workforce demands
- Innovative curriculum design and pedagogical approaches
- Modular, practice-based learning solutions aligned with European frameworks
- Open Educational Resources (OER) and practical tools for education providers
The report showcases how higher education institutions, industry partners, and policy actors can collaborate effectively to develop a future-ready aviation workforce.
Why This Matters
Aviation faces unprecedented challenges: rapid technological change, sustainability imperatives, and significant workforce shortages. By 2034, the sector will need 416,000 maintenance technicians and 300,000 pilots globally. Our research provides evidence-based solutions that educational institutions and training providers can implement immediately.
