COLLABORATION

Talent attraction & development

AIAM strives to keep our local and national education community informed of the gap in talent that exists today, the need for degreed, technical and skilled trades workers, and talent requirements for future technology. We also work directly with universities to host talent attraction events and establish research priorities that serve the future of our industry. Through events like WAIAM's Michigan Girls Future Flight Challenge, AIAM is able to inspire rising K-12 talent.
