Why jobs in aviation and engineering are in such high demand
With travel demand being back to nearly pre-pandemic levels, there’s been a great need for qualified aviation and engineering professionals to fill open roles (especially after many pilots retired during the pandemic). In fact, the skills taught at Vaughn College have never been in greater demand. Companies are recruiting engineers, pilots, air traffic controllers, maintenance technicians, operations managers and others in unprecedented numbers. As a result, salaries in these fields are soaring, benefits are generous and schedules are flexible. You can be a part of the next generation of aviation professionals to keep the industry moving in the right direction.
