CAAS and WAI-SG partner to promote aviation careers for young women

Aviation-related education initiatives will be offered to young Singaporean women.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Women in Aviation Singapore Chapter (WAI-SG) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to encourage more young women to pursue aviation careers.

Under the MoU, CAAS and WAI-SG will co-develop aviation-related activities and create resources on aviation career diversity to educate young women.

In addition, both partners will also provide young women opportunities to spark interest in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) and aviation careers, as well as opportunities to build leadership skills, networks, and professional relationships in the sector.

The development of Changi Airport Terminal Five will boost Singapore’s aviation sector, increasing the airport’s capacity by 50 million passengers annually by the mid-2030s. 

This expansion will create more aviation jobs, including pilots, air traffic controllers, engineers, and passenger service officers.

“As the aviation sector in Singapore continues to grow, we encourage more women to pursue a career in aviation and to seize the opportunity to grow with Singapore aviation and work with us to take it to even greater heights.” Han Kok Juan, Director-General of CAAS said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
