WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
AOPA'S FOUR-YEAR
high school aviation
STEM program has two
educational tracks:
pilot and unmanned
aircraft systems or
drones.
A shining star in the renewed efforts to fill aviation's labor gap is happening in Oklahoma. Here,
aerospace is the state's second largest and fastestgrowing industry. The Sooner State, which needs
to fill 5,000 additional aerospace jobs in the next
few years, is taking a proactive approach to a
growing problem and leading the way for others
to do the same.
IMPORTANT TO THE ECONOMY
Oklahoma's rich aviation and aerospace heritage
goes back to the early days of flight. Since then,
it has grown to where the state has more than
135 public-use airports, 5,716 registered aircraft
and 9,634 active pilots, reports Oklahoma Sen.
James Inhofe.
The state also serves as home to American
Airlines' Tulsa Engineering and Maintenance Center,
the largest aircraft repair facility in the world, and
Tinker Air Force Base, the world's largest military aircraft repair facility. And, the nerve center
of the nation's air transportation system - the
Federal Aviation Administration's Mike Monroney
Aeronautical Center, sits in Oklahoma City.
These offerings combine into an industry that
contributes more than $44 billion annually to the
state's economy.
"Investments in aviation and aerospace have
helped local communities grow and take off

- providing well-paying jobs and opportunities
to countless individuals, small businesses and families across the state," Inhofe said. "As an active
pilot, I see first-hand the value of these investments
when I visit Oklahoma airports every weekend."
Though the state's aviation economy thrives,
growth comes with a dark side. "According to
our research, the aerospace sector will require
a minimum of 6,900 additional jobs annually,"
explained Brent Kisling, executive director of the
Oklahoma Department of Commerce. "While this
is not a problem that's unique to Oklahoma, it is
something we're facing and working to deal with.
Oklahoma's CareerTech and colleges are addressing the problem and their efforts will help us keep
a pipeline of talent available for this industry."
ADDRESS THE PROBLEM
It's been said the success of any industry rests on
a three-legged stool, with one leg represented by
industry, another by academia and a third by government. If one leg breaks, the stool will topple.
The State of Oklahoma's work to address the
aviation labor shortage is a lot like this threelegged stool. The state keeps its aviation and
aerospace stool strong through efforts involving
industry, academia and government.
"The approach is multi-faceted, but I am proud
of the collaborative way industry, government
