We believe the aerospace industry has global impact, global opportunities, and global responsibilities.

We believe the aerospace community is always hungry for more talent.

We believe that inherent aerospace interest and talent are not unique to any one demographic.

We believe abundant talent pools have gone untapped by the aerospace community.

We believe aerospace teams continue to experience major challenges recruiting, selecting, training, and recognizing talent from communities that don't feel as connected to aerospace.

We believe that many students who have all the attributes necessary for successful careers in aerospace choose to pursue careers in other industries because the aerospace has not sufficiently appealed to and connected with their communities.

We believe that many potential aerospace employees from underserved backgrounds depart the industry early in their college experience due to the lack of role models, the lack access to professional mentors, and the lack of near-term job or internship opportunities.

We believe that by addressing those lacking elements, we can help new cohort of future aerospace leaders thrive in our industry, rather than depart it before truly beginning their careers.

We believe that if we are successful in that effort, we will simultaneously improve the career prospects of worthy individuals and enrich the entire industry by improving the overall talent pool.
