SPONSORSHIP
For four years, Amped Up Aviation has been dedicated to "introducing young people to the wonders of the aviation industry". Aircraft Maintenance lives in an invisible gap in skilled trade workforce shortages for several reasons; however, the main one being lack of visibility to the next generations.
144 other trades ARE being promoted heavily.
In just the past two years we’ve had the opportunity to introduce our initiatives to almost 50,000 students and helped them learn about careers in aviation!
Like many organizations in our sector, we've faced unprecedented financial headwinds through COVID. In March we learned that the funding we relied so heavily upon to promote the aviation industry has been cancelled.
Whilst we have advocated with various levels of government, we are at imminent risk of cessation of all this hard work which was starting to make great headway so we are doing extensive outreach to corporations for partnership and support which is needed to keep these initiatives solvent.
We don't have a massive amount to offer you, but this work needs to be done and has needed to happen for a long time. Your investment gives the opportunity to keep trying to get this career pathway recognized and seen, and is a much more financially viable option for companies than individual outreach.

Outreach
Our VR not only engages kids to take a look at aviation, it is proven to captivate them!
Take a look below to see what almost 50,000 students have had the opportunity to do over the past two years....
With volunteers who are young AMEs, they give a familiarity, passion and knowledge so that students can better see themselves on this pathway.
We also try to engage teachers and stakeholders to join in the fun, as in the last picture!

To become the 145th promoted 'trade' we need your support.
(Although alphabetically.... we'd be #1!)
'Introduction to Aircraft Maintenance'
FREE online course
Our LMS introduces high-schoolers to the hidden world of aviation, specifically Aircraft Maintenance; however, we receive lots of questions about other avenues....
The course is designed with the mindset of teenagers and tested with them to gauge their interest levels, how long it should take; and encompasses fun facts, videos, interactive elements, quizzes and content that make things like the dirty dozen and phonetic alphabet memorable (which are both visual and auditory).
Check out a few screen shots below....
