Interested in aviation and can't find a place to learn more about it? Southport Aerospace Centre Inc. is holding a Careers in Aviation Expo with Wings & Helicopters magazines.
Jon Robinson, an editor for Wings and Helicopters, based out of Toronto, says this Expo is a once-a-year event perfect for anyone interested in aviation.
"The Expo is targeted to young professionals and aspiring aviators who might be looking for a career change."
Robinson notes how excited they are to host this Expo in Southport.
"You know, Portage is not Toronto, it's not Vancouver, it's not Calgary, but we're very confident in going to Southport to hold this event because the region has a lot of very important aviation operations that will be there. WestJet will be there; the Royal Canadian Air Force will be there. So, the industry has a lot of support for this event."
One of the main takeaways from the Expo that Robinson wants people to notice is that there are more opportunities than most people think in the aviation community.
He mentions that the Expo has a pretty packed schedule.
"We have about five keynote presentations. Breakout sessions between those mainstage presentations give a more intimate discussion between the attendees and some mentors in very specific areas where we have breakout sessions in between those sessions. "
He concludes by saying he hopes people will come out, participate, and enjoy learning about the diverse world of aviation.
This Expo will take place on Saturday, October 15th; tickets to attend are $54.61. You can buy your tickets and find out more information by clicking here.
